//! Backend-agnostic slice views over the parameter vector.
//!
//! L-BFGS-B's inner numerics (cauchy, subsm, formk, compact-form
//! helpers) operate on `&[F]` / `&mut [F]` for the solver's scalar
//! `F: Scalar`. To stay generic over the user-chosen parameter backend
//! (`Vec<F>`, nalgebra `DVector<F>`, faer `Col<F>`, ndarray
//! `Array1<F>`), the top-level solver views each vector as a
//! contiguous `F` slice at iteration boundaries. The two tiny traits
//! below capture that view; impls are per-backend and `pub(crate)` to
//! keep them off the public API surface.
//!
//! The trait carries an `F = f64` default so existing call sites
//! resolve unchanged.

/// Read-only view of a parameter vector as a contiguous `&[F]`.
