parsed back as a regular array,
- every entry of `"_ArraySize_"` is a positive integer, and their product is representable as a `std::size_t`,
- `"_ArrayData_"` is an array holding exactly that many elements, and
- every element of `"_ArrayData_"` is a number of the kind named by `"_ArrayType_"` (a floating-point number for
`single` and `double`, an integer otherwise).
- every element of `"_ArrayData_"` is a number of the kind named by `"_ArrayType_"`: for the integer types, a
value that fits the named width; for `double`, any value; for `single`, a value that survives narrowing to
`float` and back without change (for instance, `0.1` does not, since it is not exactly representable as
`float`).
An annotated object is always read back with its keys in the order shown above, `"_ArrayType_"`, `"_ArraySize_"`,
`"_ArrayData_"`, regardless of the order the ND-array's header stores them in on the wire. This matters for
`ordered_json`, whose comparison takes key order into account.
The current version of this library does not yet support automatic detection of and conversion from a nested JSON
array input to a BJData ND-array.
