Packing Qs

  • If "the variable containing the packed data must be of type byte, short or int", how do we choose what size int?
  • What to do if scale_factor and add_offset are not float or double? What if they are different types?
    • I assume issue a warning and continue?

Unpacking Qs

  • Should the unpacked data just be np.find_common_type([data, add_offset, scale_factor], []), or should we then bump the type up by 1 level (float16->32, 32->64, 64->128, etc.) to cover overflow?
