Remove binary and uint8c from list of supported dtypes

kgryte · kgryte · commit 14286faabeb9 · 2021-03-19T00:29:12.000-07:00
The reason being that binary and uint8c require specialized behavior.
E.g., uint8c requires logic for handling overflow and underflow--logic
which the current strided loops do not include. For binary, not clear
to me atm whether the loops are sufficient for handling data in
binary format (e.g., strings, etc). Binary data may require specialized
loops. Accordingly, these dtypes are removed until we've evaluated
requirements. These dtypes are likely less needed than the remaining
dtypes, so, until support is demanded, we can exclude them from the
list of supported dtypes.
