Description

These slicing operations are broken:

using BlockArrays: Block
using BlockSparseArrays: BlockSparseArray
a = BlockSparseArray{Float64}([2, 2], [2, 2])
a[1, Block(1)]
a[1, Block.(1:2)]

however the following appear to work:

a[1:1, Block(1)]
a[1:1, Block.(1:2)]

Research direction

Start by reproducing the two failing indexing expressions and comparing them with the working range-based expressions in the issue. Trace the BlockSparseArray indexing entry point and determine the intended result for mixed scalar and block indexing; done means the scalar forms behave consistently with the corresponding range forms.
