While they follow the typical requirements of a scalar function of same shape for input / output, the kernel is not strictly speaking scalar because it's not just independently element-wise (i.e. the order of the values of the input array impact the exact result array, although you could say that the exact run_ends/values are an implementation detail, as long as they still represent "logically" the same values). I don't know if this internal/theoretical detail is enough to not consider it as a scalar function, as in _practice_, I assume you can use this function in most places where the kernel is restricted to be scalar?
