Description

The indexing behavior is different from static vector and a normal vector when adding extra dimensions

julia> a = @SVector randn(2)
2-element SVector{2, Float64} with indices SOneTo(2):
  1.1055415819376984
 -1.376116084168465

julia> a[:, 1]
ERROR: BoundsError: attempt to access Tuple{} at index [1]

Research direction

Reproduce the reported SVector and ordinary Vector indexing examples, then inspect src/indexing.jl around index_sizes at line 81 and getindex around line 226. Determine why an extra dimension raises BoundsError for SVector; done means the behavior is resolved and matches the ordinary vector case.
