mortar([Block(1)[1:2], Block(2)[1:2]])[Block(1)] has type Vector{BlockIndex{1}} instead of BlockIndexRange{1}

[mtfishman]

For example:

julia> using BlockArrays

julia> a = mortar([Block(1)[1:2], Block(2)[1:2]])
2-blocked 4-element BlockVector{BlockIndex{1}, Vector{BlockArrays.BlockIndexRange{1, Tuple{UnitRange{Int64}}}}, Tuple{BlockedOneTo{Int64, Vector{Int64}}}}:
 Block(1)[1]
 Block(1)[2]
 ───────────
 Block(2)[1]
 Block(2)[2]

julia> a[Block(1)]
2-element Vector{BlockIndex{1}}:
 Block(1)[1]
 Block(1)[2]

julia> typeof(a[Block(1)])
Vector{BlockIndex{1}} (alias for Array{BlockIndex{1}, 1})

julia> blocks(a)[1]
Block(1)[1:2]

julia> typeof(blocks(a)[1])
BlockArrays.BlockIndexRange{1, Tuple{UnitRange{Int64}}}

julia> import Pkg; Pkg.status("BlockArrays")
Status `.../Project.toml`

Ideally a[Block(1)] would act like blocks(a)[1] and preserve the type of the block as it was input, i.e. have the type BlockIndexRange{1}.
