Research direction

Start by reviewing the unchecked items in this meta-issue and the separate dimension-types issue #519. No source files or tests are identified, so the scope and entry point need to be established before work begins; done would require selecting and completing a specific const-generics improvement rather than addressing the whole list.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

enhancement

There are a few minor features and improvements we can do with const generics. This meta-issue is mainly about those.

Big-ticket items get their own issue. In particular remaking index and dimension types gets is own ticket.

Easy add-ons

  • IntoNdProducer impl for &[T; N]
  • FixedInitializer or replacement impl for &array - replace with just const generics of arrays
  • From<&array> and similar implementations
  • NdIndex / Index impls using [T; N] in particular for ixdyn ?

Long term features

  • Overhaul of dimension types. See separate issue: #519
  • Dimension/pattern/index types using arrays for pattern matching
