/// A representation of the sparsity pattern of a CSR or CSC matrix.
///
/// CSR and CSC matrices store matrices in a very similar fashion. In fact, in a certain sense,
/// they are transposed. More precisely, when reinterpreting the three data arrays of a CSR
/// matrix as a CSC matrix, we obtain the CSC representation of its transpose.
///
/// [`SparsityPattern`] is an abstraction built on this observation. Whereas CSR matrices
/// store a matrix row-by-row, and a CSC matrix stores a matrix column-by-column, a
/// `SparsityPattern` represents only the index data structure of a matrix *lane-by-lane*.
/// Here, a *lane* is a generalization of rows and columns. We further define *major lanes*
/// and *minor lanes*. The sparsity pattern of a CSR matrix is then obtained by interpreting
/// major/minor as row/column. Conversely, we obtain the sparsity pattern of a CSC matrix by
/// interpreting major/minor as column/row.
///
/// This allows us to use a common abstraction to talk about sparsity patterns of CSR and CSC
/// matrices. This is convenient, because at the abstract level, the invariants of the formats
/// are the same. Hence we may encode the invariants of the index data structure separately from
/// the scalar values of the matrix. This is especially useful in applications where the
/// sparsity pattern is built ahead of the matrix values, or the same sparsity pattern is re-used
/// between different matrices. Finally, we can use `SparsityPattern` to encode adjacency
/// information in graphs.
///
/// # Format
///
/// The format is exactly the same as for the index data structures of CSR and CSC matrices.
/// This means that the sparsity pattern of an `m x n` sparse matrix with `nnz` non-zeros,
/// where in this case `m x n` does *not* mean `rows x columns`, but rather `majors x minors`,
/// is represented by the following two arrays:
///
/// - `major_offsets`, an array of integers with length `m + 1`.
/// - `minor_indices`, an array of integers with length `nnz`.
///
/// The invariants and relationship between `major_offsets` and `minor_indices` remain the same
/// as for `row_offsets` and `col_indices` in the [CSR](`crate::csr::CsrMatrix`) format
/// specification.
