Description

I noticed that the axes function is exported in AxisArrays, but this is a Base function as well. I would like to know whether this was a deliberate choice or this is a bug?

julia> using AxisArrays

julia> A = AxisArray(rand(2), a=[1,2]);

julia> axes(A)
WARNING: both AxisArrays and Base export "axes"; uses of it in module Main must be qualified

Research direction

Reproduce the reported warning with Julia using AxisArrays and inspect how the package exports axes alongside Base.axes. Determine whether the export is intentional, then document the decision and add or update coverage for the resulting name-resolution behavior.
