+Usually a ds-array cannot be divided into blocks of equal size. In this case,
+bottom-most blocks can be shorter than the regular block size, and right-most blocks
+can be narrower. When both dimension are not divisible by the desired block height/weight,
+bottom-right block is both shorter and narrower.

+However, there is also a special case for sliced ds-arrays. If the performed slicing begins
+in middle of the block, this block is sliced and its new dimensions are kept as
+the top-left block instead of re-chunking the whole array. The resulting ds-array would then have the top
+and the left blocks smaller than the regular size blocks. Furthermore, it could also have
+the bottom and the right blocks smaller as well, depending on the original shape of the matrix,
+and the bottom/right bounds used in slicing. This optimization helps to avoid unnecessary
+and costly re-chunking of the ds-array.
