How to convert a faer Mat into a Rust normal array?

I can't find the right way to convert faer Mat into Rust array, the code and error I got:

My code:

use faer::Mat;
type Dtype = f32;

fn main() {
    let mut a = Mat::<Dtype>::zeros(4, 3);

    for i in 0..a.ncols() {
        for j in 0..a.nrows() {
            a[(i, j)] = 11.0;
        }
    }

    let b: [[Dtype; 3]; 4] = a.into();
}

Error:

error[E0277]: the trait bound `[[f32; 3]; 4]: From<Mat<f32>>` is not satisfied
  --> src/main.rs:13:32

13 |     let b: [[Dtype; 3]; 4] = a.into();
   |                                ^^^^ the trait `From<Mat<f32>>` is not implemented for `[[f32; 3]; 4]`, which is required by `Mat<f32>: Into<_>`

   = help: the following other types implement trait `From<T>`:
             <[T; 10] as From<(T, T, T, T, T, T, T, T, T, T)>>
             <[T; 11] as From<(T, T, T, T, T, T, T, T, T, T, T)>>
             <[T; 12] as From<(T, T, T, T, T, T, T, T, T, T, T, T)>>
             <[T; 1] as From<(T,)>>
             <[T; 2] as From<(T, T)>>
             <[T; 3] as From<(T, T, T)>>
             <[T; 4] as From<(T, T, T, T)>>
             <[T; 5] as From<(T, T, T, T, T)>>
           and 7 others
   = note: required for `Mat<f32>` to implement `Into<[[f32; 3]; 4]>`

Please help me solve this problem, thank you.

you can just initialize the array to zero and use a for loop. faer doesn't really target statically sized arrays
