Closes #471.
This removes constructors
BlockRange(),BlockRange(2, 2), andBlockRange(1:2, 1:2). Instead, the more explicit versionsBlockRange(()),BlockRange((2, 2)), andBlockRange((1:2, 1:2))can be used.This now makes
BlockRangeconstructors more consistent withCartesianIndicesconstructors:and removes the inconsistency pointed out in #471 when calling
BlockRange(::AbstractUnitRange)vs.BlockRange(::AbstractVector):This is technically breaking, though I would argue that it is a bug fix because of the inconsistency of the current code design (i.e. I would argue that the previous behavior of
BlockRange(::AbstractUnitRange)was incorrect, and therefore was a bug). I'm curious to see if this leads to any downstream failures.
