Fixes #359.
This introduces a syntax
A[[Block(1), Block(2)], [Block(1), Block(2)]]
for merging blocks 1 and 2 into a "superblock" along each axis, and also adds some related block merge operations that also includes slicing subblocks such asA[[Block(1)[1:2], Block(2)[1:2]], [Block(1)[1:2], Block(2)[1:2]]]
. The implementation is very similar to #445.It feels unfortunate that these have to be done "by hand" through dispatch in this way as opposed to some more generic way of handling nested slices, but I can't think a better way (besides introducing a custom slicing operation).
