Tests against all Array/AbstractArray APIs

[yebai]

We should consider testing against all stdlib functions for Julia's Array type. A more comprehensive test should also include PDMats and Statistics.

See e.g. Tracker tests for an example.

This is, of course, a good idea. I'm not entirely sure what in the tracker tests you're referring to though -- that file looks like a fairly random collection of operations on arrays. Am I missing something?

We can cherry-pick some tests from Tracker, but yes, it contains some other tests which might not be relevant.

I see.

A pretty good way to construct a very thorough test set is to just look at the results of

methodswith(Array, Base; supertypes=true)
methodswith(Vector, Base; supertypes=true)
methodswith(Array, LinearAlgebra; supertypes=true)
methodswith(Vector, LinearAlgebra; supertypes=true)
