Any interest in a uvec method?

Is there any interest in a uvec method? I imagine it would be something like

uvec(x::AbstractArray) = uview(x, eachindex(x))

You can already call vec on an UnsafeArray:

using UnsafeArrays
A = rand(4, 6)
@uviews A begin
    va = vec(A)
    va isa UnsafeArray{Float64,1}
end

So I don't think we need a special uvec function. Also, in general, uview should rarely be used directly - use the @uviews macro instead, it protectd the original arrays from GC.

If you had something more specialized in mind, though, please feel free to reopen this issue, @m-wells!
