 *         belongs to. Or, in other words, this parameter contains for each tuple in \a
 *         this in which cast it holds.
 *  \param [out] rankInsideCast - a new instance of DataArrayInt, of same size as \a this
 *         array, the caller is to delete using decrRef() as it is no more needed.
 *         This array contains ranks of values of \a this array within ranges
 *         they belongs to. I.e. the i-th value of \a rankInsideCast gives the rank of
 *         the i-th value of \a this array within the \a castArr[ i ]-th range, to which
 *         the i-th value of \a this belongs to. Or, in other words, this param contains

 *         ranges (casts) to which at least one value of \a this array belongs.

 * - \a castsPresent  : [0,1]
 *
 * I.e. values of \a this array belong to 2 ranges: #0 and #1. Value 6 belongs to the
