    Enable writing to ArrayHandleCast · 0e15a111

    Previously, `ArrayHandleCast` was considered a read-only array handle.
    However, it is trivial to reverse the cast (now that `ArrayHandleTransform`
    supports an inverse transform). So now you can write to a cast array
    (assuming the underlying array is writable).
    
    One trivial consequence of this change is that you can no longer make a
    cast that cannot be reversed. For example, it was possible to cast a simple
    scalar to a `Vec` even though it is not possible to convert a `Vec` to a
    scalar value. This was of dubious correctness (it is more of a construction
    than a cast) and is easy to recreate with `ArrayHandleTransform`.
