Description

It might make the code cleaner to do:

struct SFill{k, T, N, Axes} <: AbstractFill{T,N}
   axes::Axes
end

getindex_value(F::SFill{k,T}) where {k,T} = convert(T,k)

const Ones{T,N,Axes} = SFill{true,T,N,Axes}
const Zeros{T,N,Axes} = SFill{false,T,N,Axes}

It would then be possible to support other special cases. Though whether this machinery is worth it is not clear.

Research direction

Review the existing Ones and Zeros definitions and the getindex_value entry point, then compare them with the proposed SFill type and aliases. Determine whether supporting additional special cases justifies this machinery; done requires a decided design and corresponding implementation scope.
