If `A` is an `AbstractArray{T,0}`, this should return an empty tuple. Required iff `A` does not subtype `DenseArray`. |
| `stride(A, i::Int)` | `strides(A)[i]` | Return the distance in memory (in number of elements) between adjacent elements in dimension k. |

A strided array is a subtype of `AbstractArray` whose entries are stored in memory with fixed strides.
