Examples

# an R value becomes `RData`: it has no data type of its own yet
to_abstract(1.5)
#> RData(double, ()) 
to_abstract(1L)
#> RData(integer, ()) 
to_abstract(TRUE)
#> RData(logical, ()) 

# an AnvlArray becomes a ConcreteArray
to_abstract(nv_array(1:4))
#> ConcreteArray
#>  1
#>  2
#>  3
#>  4
#> [ CPUi32{4} ] 

# use pure = TRUE to strip subclass info
to_abstract(nv_array(1:4), pure = TRUE)
#> AbstractArray(dtype=i32, shape=4)
