Research direction

The issue names no files or tests. Start by reading the dtype and cast implementations for the kernel-side and host-side tensor APIs, then locate their existing tests. Done means coverage is improved for both sides and a cast matrix is published; the issue does not specify the matrix format or which casts to cover.
