/// An enum capturing the default uncompressed encodings for each [Vortex type](DType).
///
/// Any array can be decoded into canonical form via the `to_canonical`
/// trait method. This is the simplest encoding for a type, and will not be compressed but may
/// contain compressed child arrays.
///
/// Canonical form is useful for doing type-specific compute where you need to know that all
/// elements are laid out decompressed and contiguous in memory.
///
/// Each `Canonical` variant has a corresponding [`DType`] variant, with the notable exception of
/// [`Canonical::VarBinView`], which is the canonical encoding for both [`DType::Utf8`] and
/// [`DType::Binary`].
///
/// # Laziness
///
/// Canonical form is not recursive, so while a `StructArray` is the canonical format for any
/// `Struct` type, individual column child arrays may still be compressed. This allows
/// compute over Vortex arrays to push decoding as late as possible, and ideally many child arrays
/// never need to be decoded into canonical form at all depending on the compute.
///
/// # Arrow interoperability
///
/// Most Vortex canonical encodings have an equivalent Arrow encoding that can be built zero-copy,
/// and the corresponding Arrow array types can also be built directly. Map array Arrow transport is
/// not implemented yet, and [`UnionArray`]'s independent top-level validity cannot be represented
/// directly by an Arrow union.
///
/// The full list of canonical types and their equivalent Arrow array types are:
///
/// * `NullArray`: `arrow_array::NullArray`
/// * `BoolArray`: `arrow_array::BooleanArray`
/// * `PrimitiveArray`: `arrow_array::PrimitiveArray`
/// * `DecimalArray`: `arrow_array::Decimal128Array` and `arrow_array::Decimal256Array`
/// * `VarBinViewArray`: `arrow_array::GenericByteViewArray`
/// * `ListViewArray`: `arrow_array::ListViewArray`
/// * `MapArray`: Vortex `ListView<Struct<key, value>>` storage
/// * `FixedSizeListArray`: `arrow_array::FixedSizeListArray`
/// * `StructArray`: `arrow_array::StructArray`
///
/// Vortex uses a logical type system, unlike Arrow which uses physical encodings for its types.
/// As an example, there are at least six valid physical encodings for a `Utf8` array. This can
/// create ambiguity.
/// Thus, if you receive an Arrow array, compress it using Vortex, and then
/// decompress it later to pass to a compute kernel, there are multiple suitable Arrow array
/// variants to hold the data.
///
/// To disambiguate, we choose a canonical physical encoding for every Vortex [`DType`], which
/// will correspond to an arrow-rs `arrow_schema::DataType`.
///
/// # Views support
///
/// Binary and String views, also known as "German strings" are a better encoding format for
/// nearly all use-cases. Variable-length binary views are part of the Apache Arrow spec, and are
/// fully supported by the Datafusion query engine. We use them as our canonical string encoding
/// for all `Utf8` and `Binary` typed arrays in Vortex. They provide considerably faster filter
/// execution than the core `StringArray` and `BinaryArray` types, at the expense of potentially
/// needing garbage collection (`arrow_array::GenericByteViewArray::gc`) to clear unreferenced items
/// from memory.
///
/// # For Developers
///
/// If you add another variant to this enum, make sure to update `dyn Array::is_canonical`,
/// and the fuzzer in `fuzz/fuzz_targets/array_ops.rs`.
