How about this.  We leave the resizer function off all the extant 
functions, but add three functions:

val set_resizer : resizer_t -> t -> unit
(* sets the resizer function for an xarray *)

val get_resizer : t -> resizer_t
(* gets the current resizer function for a given xarray *)

val default_resizer : resizer_t
(* the default resizer function the library is using- allowing the library
   to change default schemes later on, and making it a more memorable
   name. *)
