The wording of
eachslice
is overly strict in enforcing aSlices
return type, instead of allowing other objects with similar behavior but e.g. potentially additional behaviors. The existence ofAbstractSlices
suggests this was actually intended at some stage but did not make it into the docs.AxisKeys.jl already returns something else and it seems not to cause any problems, but it would be good to be able to do this without breaking the documented contract of the method.
Closes #57206
