This adds some functionality that will be needed for slicing operations that merge blocks, one of the feature requests listed in ITensor/BlockSparseArrays.jl#2. These operations will be useful for fusion operations of symmetric tensors, removing symmetries from symmetric tensors, among other operations.
Given this block sparse array:
this PR enables the following operations:
However, the implementation isn't complete yet, and basic operations like
copy(b)
andb[Block(1, 1)]
don't work right now. I'll leave that for future PRs.
