There was a useful article on the now defunct zig.news about how many-item types are related. The synopsis is this image:

I think it’s now incomplete because there are some more conversions possible (like from array to slice with `&`). But maybe this helps a bit with understanding the differences.

You can kind of read the article [here](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/kristoff-it/old-zig-news-dump/refs/heads/main/articles.csv#:~:text=In%20the%20Zig%20language) in the dump. Search for “In the Zig language, when working with a sequence of” if the link isn’t working.
