#' @title Array Classes
#' @description An `Array` is an immutable data array with some logical type
#' and some length. Most logical types are contained in the base
#' `Array` class; there are also subclasses for `DictionaryArray`, `ListArray`,
#' and `StructArray`.
#' @usage NULL
#' @format NULL
#' @docType class
#'
#' @section Factory:
#' The `Array$create()` factory method instantiates an `Array` and
#' takes the following arguments:
#' * `x`: an R vector, list, or `data.frame`
#' * `type`: an optional [data type][data-type] for `x`. If omitted, the type
#'    will be inferred from the data.
#'
#' `Array$create()` will return the appropriate subclass of `Array`, such as
#' `DictionaryArray` when given an R factor.
#'
#' To compose a `DictionaryArray` directly, call `DictionaryArray$create()`,
#' which takes two arguments:
#' * `x`: an R vector or `Array` of integers for the dictionary indices
#' * `dict`: an R vector or `Array` of dictionary values (like R factor levels
#'   but not limited to strings only)
#' @section Usage:
#'
#' ```
#' a <- Array$create(x)
#' length(a)
#'
#' print(a)
#' a == a
#' ```
#'
#' @section Methods:
#'
#' - `$IsNull(i)`: Return true if value at index is null. Does not boundscheck
#' - `$IsValid(i)`: Return true if value at index is valid. Does not boundscheck
#' - `$length()`: Size in the number of elements this array contains
#' - `$nbytes()`: Total number of bytes consumed by the elements of the array
#' - `$offset`: A relative position into another array's data, to enable zero-copy slicing
#' - `$null_count`: The number of null entries in the array
#' - `$type`: logical type of data
#' - `$type_id()`: type id
#' - `$Equals(other)` : is this array equal to `other`
#' - `$ApproxEquals(other)` :
#' - `$Diff(other)` : return a string expressing the difference between two arrays
#' - `$data()`: return the underlying [ArrayData][ArrayData]
#' - `$as_vector()`: convert to an R vector
#' - `$ToString()`: string representation of the array
#' - `$Slice(offset, length = NULL)`: Construct a zero-copy slice of the array
#'    with the indicated offset and length. If length is `NULL`, the slice goes
#'    until the end of the array.
#' - `$Take(i)`: return an `Array` with values at positions given by integers
#'    (R vector or Array Array) `i`.
#' - `$Filter(i, keep_na = TRUE)`: return an `Array` with values at positions where logical
#'    vector (or Arrow boolean Array) `i` is `TRUE`.
#' - `$SortIndices(descending = FALSE)`: return an `Array` of integer positions that can be
#'    used to rearrange the `Array` in ascending or descending order
#' - `$RangeEquals(other, start_idx, end_idx, other_start_idx)` :
#' - `$cast(target_type, safe = TRUE, options = cast_options(safe))`: Alter the
#'    data in the array to change its type.
#' - `$View(type)`: Construct a zero-copy view of this array with the given type.
#' - `$Validate()` : Perform any validation checks to determine obvious inconsistencies
#'    within the array's internal data. This can be an expensive check, potentially `O(length)`
