@bluss bluss commented Dec 3, 2020

Update representation (of StrideShape) to use enum { C, F, Custom(D) } so that we don't
try to compute a C or F stride set until after we have checked the
actual array shape.

This avoids overflow errors (that panic) in places where we expected to
return an error. It was visible as a test failure on 32-bit that long
went undetected because tests didn't run on such platforms before (but
the bug affected all platforms, given sufficiently large inputs).

Also move the Shape, StrideShape types into the shape builder module.
It all calls out for a nicer organization of types that makes
constructors easier to understand for users, but that's an issue for
another time - and it's a breaking change.
