Passing by to shamelessly self plug [numpydoc.el](https://github.com/douglasdavis/numpydoc.el)

Or perhaps we require a `dak.enforce_type` call at the end of a task graph that converges to some array of categoricals. cc @agoose77 for your take!

We can definitely make delayed objects work nicely with binary/map_parititions dak.Array operations. that exception is pretty strict and there's room for relaxing it a bit

When I wrote that exception (some time ago), the problem with mixing dask-awkward collection objects with "anything else" was metadata determination. We always want to be able to keep around...

Alright that seems like a good starting point for a PR

Alright https://github.com/dask-contrib/dask-awkward/pull/449 allows `map_partitions` calls (where `meta=` is explicitly passed by the caller) to have `Delayed` objects in the arguments.

Unsure- we're still investigating this and have yanked the 2023.11.1 release in the meantime!

@GaetanLepage this issue is unrelated to the coffea failure, that issue will be fixed by #408

Is this still an issue? Things have evolved _a lot_ w.r.t. typetracer arrays and data touching.
