This is a continuation of #923
We are now delegating to the backend the job of decoding the terms instead of casting if the dtype is different from the inferred dtype. In fact we stopped to infer the type if the dtype is given.
In a nutshell, this PR:
:dtype
is given.The main goal is to improve performance, as discussed in #922.
