Description
Partial observation in the sense of having, in an AxisManager, only part of a full "observation"; e.g. samples [10000:20000]. There are facilities in AxisManager, Ranges, and Intervals that help track where the "absolute" reference is relative to the start of the data they contain... but it's not clear how to use that coherently.
(This issue is thus a call for clarification, in the code and documentation!)

Research direction
Start by reading the AxisManager, Ranges, and Intervals implementations and their existing documentation, focusing on how absolute references relate to contained data. Document a coherent way to track partial observations such as samples [10000:20000], and clarify the relevant code or documentation behavior.
