Description

MWE:

shape1 = (BlockArrays._BlockedUnitRange((2,)),);
shape2 = (BlockArrays._BlockedUnitRange((2,)),);
Base.Broadcast._bcs(shape1, shape2)
# @code_warntype Base.Broadcast._bcs1(shape1[1], shape2[1]) # lower level, but internals
@code_warntype Base.Broadcast.broadcast_shape(shape1, shape2)

Research direction

Start with the MWE in the issue and inspect Julia's Base.Broadcast.broadcast_shape, _bcs, and _bcs1 behavior for BlockedUnitRanges. Confirm the type-inference failure with @code_warntype, then determine what behavior and inferred result should be preserved when the issue is fixed.
