idk if this is a good idea,

Goal would be for better handling of things like LowerTriangular{<:NamedDimsArray}

# things that are not wrapper arrays are there own parents,
# so at that point we can give up looking for names
# also we have no way to deal with inner arrays of different dimensions, even if they do have names
# so give up then too

maybe helpful to add an example (cos it's a bit of a weird case)? e.g.

also parent arrays can have a different number of dimensions, e.g. parent of a Diagonal is a Vector
we have no way to deal with the names in this case so give up then too

end
end
names(x::Array{T,N}) where {T,N} = default_names(x) # shortcut of the above
default_names(x::AbstractArray{T, N}) where {T,N} = ntuple(_->:_, N)

Are these really the names of an un-named thing?

Aren't these the names of something which has names, they're just unknown/wildcards

The names of an unnamed thing is nothing or maybe ntuple(i -> nothing, N)?

I like this as an idea, although I disagree with assigning names (even wildcards) to non-named things. We should only gain wildcards if we cannot know the appropriate new name(s) for a previously named thing
