Add functions for casting from core references#181
Merged
Conversation
- `Array::cast_from_core`: `const fn` equivalent of `From<[T; N]>`
- `Array::cast_from_core_mut`: `mut` equivalent of the above
- `Array::from_ref`: cast `&T` to `&Array<T; U1>`
- `Array::from_mut`: `mut` equivalent of the above
The latter are the equivalents of `core::array::{from_ref, from_mut}`
which I opted to put on `Array<T, U1>` for consistency with
`Array::from_fn` which is impl'd on the type instead of as a free
function.
