zero function for StaticArrays

[vavrines]

Not sure whether this has been reported, and wonder if there is a solution already.
The function zero on an OffsetArray with the substance from StaticArrays results in a general Vector though.

julia> using OffsetArrays, StaticArrays

julia> a=@MVector [1,2,3]
3-element MVector{3, Int64} with indices SOneTo(3):
 1
 2
 3

julia> a1=OffsetArray(a,0:2)
3-element OffsetArray(::MVector{3, Int64}, 0:2) with eltype Int64 with indices 0:2:
 1
 2
 3

julia> zero(a1)
3-element OffsetArray(::Vector{Int64}, 0:2) with eltype Int64 with indices 0:2:
 0
 0
 0

Perhaps you're using an older version of OffsetArrays. On the latest version this behavior has changed, and you obtain

julia> a=@MVector [1,2,3]
3-element MVector{3, Int64} with indices SOneTo(3):
 1
 2
 3

julia> a1=OffsetArray(a,0:2)
3-element OffsetArray(::MVector{3, Int64}, 0:2) with eltype Int64 with indices 0:2:
 1
 2
 3

julia> zero(a1)
3-element OffsetArray(::MVector{3, Int64}, 0:2) with eltype Int64 with indices 0:2:
 0
 0
 0

Jup just tested with v1.8 and it works well. Thx!
