On one hand it needs a new attribute, which needs some checking that the
contiguity is not violated. It also needs the contiguous flag of the reworked
descriptor.
One place where it can be used is:
a) In functions calls
b) In assignments of the type (cf. PR 40551)
array = function()
c) In compile-time value for the strides, cf. PR 32131
