```julia
using StaticArrays, TensorCast

const Point2d{T <: AbstractFloat} = SVector{2,T}

struct PointCspond{T <: AbstractFloat}
    first::Point2d{T}
    second::Point2d{T}
end

function point_csponds(u₁,u₂)
    @cast u₁[j]{i:2} := u₁[i,j]
    @cast u₂[j]{i:2} := u₂[i,j]

    return StructArray{PointCspond{Float64}}((u₁,u₂))
end

x1 = rand(2,100)
x2 = rand(2,100)
pc = point_csponds(u₁,u₂)

```

The type of pc.first is

```julia
100-element reinterpret(SVector{2, Float64}, ::Vector{Float64})

```

but I would like it to be something like a

```julia
2x100 Matrix{Float64} (alias for Array{Float64, 2})

```

Is it possible? Thanks!
