The easy way to unpad an array is by indexing with slices, e.g., x[20:-4]
to undo a padding of [(20, 4)]. Just be careful about unpadding "zero"
elements on the right hand side, because Python interprets an ending slice
of zero differently -- you need to write something like x[20:] to undo
padding by [(20, 0)].
