Description
This means
julia> using StaticArrays
julia> f = Fill(1, (SOneTo(2),))
2-element Fill{Int64, 1, Tuple{SOneTo{2}}} with indices SOneTo(2), with entries equal to 1
julia> IndexStyle(f)
IndexCartesian()
This may use linear indexing as well, though.

Research direction
Start at src/FillArrays.jl around line 59 and reproduce the IndexStyle example using Fill and SOneTo. Determine whether the current specialization intentionally excludes linear indexing, and establish the expected IndexStyle result before changing behavior.
