I apologize for bringing this up. The elements of

(array-reverse (make-specialized-array (make-interval ‘#(2 2)))

as you go through them in lexicographical order are stored contiguously, but the indices into the body of the array decrease, and I believe in PyTorch this array would *not* be contiguous.

So I prefer the current semi-meaningless name.
