Why? Because in this situation batch dimensions always yield a more compact representation, and converting from batch to sparse dimensions is far cheaper than converting from sparse to batch dimensions.
This, along with a sparse lowering rule for
lax.concatenate_p
, will allow us to support clean concatenation & stacking of sparse arrays.I'm a bit concerned that this might break an existing use-case, so I need to run some extra tests before merging.
