// Fast summation of arrays (vectors, spans) of numbers.
//
// Speed: up to 2x faster than Eigen for float arrays with ~100 elements or more
//        (as of 2023-05).
// Precision: Better or comparable precision to std::accumulate<> on the same
//            value type. That said, the precision is inferior to precise sum
//            algorithm such as ::AccurateSum.
