Research direction

Start by locating the serialization and deserialization code and the definitions of Dimension, (Ix, Ix), and Vec. Trace how a 2D array's shape is represented in each path. Done means a 2D array serializes and deserializes equivalently whether its dimension uses (Ix, Ix) or Vec; review related work in issue #10.

Description

We want to allow a (for example) 2D-array to serialize and deserialize equally, regardless of using Dimension type (Ix, Ix) or Vec<Ix>.
