Description

ChunkedArray constructors are inconsistent wrt to validating if input is empty and has an omitted type. The constructors can be merged into a single one via function overloading and include such validation. Constructors do not validate same type chunks for performance reasons, but this validation is performed via ChunkedArray::Make().
