Bug description

A function:

val Bigarray.kind_byte_size : ('a, 'b) kind -> int
(** [kind_byte_size k] is the length in bytes of an elements stored in a bigarray of kind [k]. *)

is useful in various contexts and cannot be written without resorting to Obj.magic.

Btw exposing caml_ba_byte_size as :

val Bigarray.byte_size : ('a, 'b, 'c) t -> int

would be nice too.

#6064 makes it possible to write kind_byte_size and byte_size without Obj.magic.

Cool, but that's still a function that I already cut and pasted a few times now. You'll most likely need it as soon as you are interfacing polymorphic bigarrays with C code.
