What is the problem / what does the code in this PR do
Add a function to more easily numbafy the copy from dtype to dtype. Also see XENONnT/straxen#353
Can you briefly describe how it works?
Numba magic 馃
Rather than writing each time a cumbersome function that has to get the dtype write, why not code this. The annoying thing about numba is that it does not allow you to use strings to loop over. This is a workaround.
Can you give a minimal working example (or illustrate with a figure)?
Special thanks to
Daniel for helping writing this up nicely and Jim Pivarski for showing such functionality in numba.
