The goal of this PR is to split the core components (the
OffsetArrayandIdOffsetRange-related code) to their own package. The key differentiator would be that this package commits minimal type piracy. The only instance of type piracy would be to define functions likeWhile technically type piracy, a narrower method that accepts a
Tuple{Union{Integer, Base.OneTo}, Vararg{Union{Integer, Base.OneTo}}}exists inBase, so the only types that would dispatch to the new method added in this package are the ones that involve aIdOffsetRange. One key difference here is that we don't define these methods for genericIdentityUnitRanges anymore.Importantly, no user-defined axis types would dispatch to this
similarmethod. This makes it possible for packages to transitively depend onOffsetArraysCorewithout it impacting their code in any way. This would help with issues like #87 and #369.Eventually,
OffsetArraysmay become a wrapper overOffsetArraysCoreand carry out the major type piracies that improve the end-user experience but aren't necessary for package development.Most of the code in this PR is copied over with minimal changes to get it working. The primary changes are to the
similarandreshapemethods to remove the piracy there.
