Description
For example:
julia> identity.(Zeros(2))
2-element Fill{Float64}, with entries equal to 0.0
julia> identity.(Ones(2))
2-element Fill{Float64}, with entries equal to 1.0
julia> ComplexF64.(Zeros(2))
2-element Fill{ComplexF64}, with entries equal to 0.0 + 0.0im
julia> ComplexF64.(Ones(2))
2-element Fill{ComplexF64}, with entries equal to 1.0 + 0.0im
julia> complex.(Zeros(2))
2-element Fill{ComplexF64}, with entries equal to 0.0 + 0.0im
julia> complex.(Ones(2))
2-element Fill{ComplexF64}, with entries equal to 1.0 + 0.0im

Research direction
Run the Julia REPL examples from the issue with FillArrays v1.13.0 and confirm the displayed results for identity., ComplexF64.(), and complex.(). Then trace the unary broadcasting implementation used by Ones and Zeros; done means these calls preserve the appropriate filled-array representation and values.
