17/// The logical types of elements in Vortex arrays.
18///
19/// `DType` represents the different logical data types that can be represented in a Vortex array.
20///
21/// This is different from physical types, which represent the actual layout of data (compressed or
22/// uncompressed). The set of physical types/formats (or data layout) is surjective into the set of
23/// logical types (or in other words, all physical types map to a single logical type).
24///
25/// Note that a `DType` represents the logical type of the elements in the `Array`s, **not** the
26/// logical type of the `Array` itself.
27///
28/// For example, an array with [`DType::Primitive`]([`I32`], [`NonNullable`]) could be physically
29/// encoded as any of the following:
30///
31/// - A flat array of `i32` values.
32/// - A run-length encoded sequence.
33/// - Dictionary encoded values with bitpacked codes.
34///
35/// All of these physical encodings preserve the same logical [`I32`] type, even if the physical
36/// data is different.
37///
38/// [`I32`]: PType::I32
39/// [`NonNullable`]: Nullability::NonNullable
