+    trailing scalar dimensions would be omitted from the result ([#13612]). This

   * The assignment operations `.+=`, `.*=` and so on now generate calls
     to `broadcast!` on the left-hand side (or call to `view(a, ...)` on the left-hand side
     if the latter is an indexing expression, e.g. `a[...]`). This means that they will fail

     * Dimensions indexed by multidimensional arrays add dimensions. More generally, the
       dimensionality of the result is the sum of the dimensionalities of the indices ([#15431]).
