Description
At the moment we only support setting a single index, but I think eg the following should be supported:
julia> Base.setindex(Zeros(5,5), randn(2,2), 1:2, 1:2)
ERROR: MethodError: no method matching setindex(::Zeros{Float64, 2, Tuple{…}}, ::Matrix{Float64}, ::UnitRange{Int64}, ::UnitRange{Int64})

Research direction
Start by reproducing the Base.setindex example with Zeros(5,5), randn(2,2), and the two UnitRange indices, then inspect the existing single-index setindex support. Done means the shown range assignment works without a MethodError and preserves the expected matrix values.
