System.Numerics.Tensors constructor safety

[soerenwolfers]

Description

The innocuous looking

var a = new TensorSpan<double>(array: new[] {1});

performs an unsafe cast, such that

a[0] == double.Epsilon

for me and even that is only true because the surrounding 4 bytes happen to be zeros.

Reproduction Steps

using System.Diagnostics.CodeAnalysis;
using System.Numerics.Tensors;

namespace ConsoleApp1;

public abstract class Program
{
    [Experimental("SYSLIB5001")]
    public static void Main()
    {
        var a = new TensorSpan<double>(array: new[] {1});
        Console.WriteLine(a[new IntPtr[] { 0 }]);
    }
}

Expected behavior

There should be no public TensorSpan<T>(Array array) constructor.

Actual behavior

.
