Zero-copy Views
Description
Views are explicit slice descriptors over shared arrays/matrices. They avoid
creating slice-sized allocations (e.g. Y[, a:b]) by carrying only metadata
plus a reference to the shared backing.
Details
This is a low-level optimization handle: arbitrary base R operations may
materialize a view; use materialize() explicitly when you want a standard
matrix/array.
