I'm a bit late on this, but aos_to_soa does not read that well, two not-that-known abbreviations in an exported function

structarray_to_arraystruct? rowarray_to_colarray? There should be a similar name in the data ecosystems

rowarray_to_colarray doesn't work since it really is more general structs. structarray_to_arraystruct would be possible.

alternatively, writing one of them in full letter and the second in abbreviation also works, since they are redundant, structarray_to_aos?
