Back in #10525, I decided to deprecate `setindex!(A, x, I::Union{Real, Int, AbstractArray}...)` for symmetry since `getindex` only allows vector indices when there's more than one index. But looking forward, I would really like to work towards APL semantics in 0.5 wherein the sum of the dimensionality of the indices is the dimensionality of the output array. For example, indexing `A[[1 2; 3 4], 1]` would output a 2-dimensional `2x2` array: `[A[1,1] A[2, 1]; A[3,1] A[4,1]]`. In which case, we'd add support back in for `setindex!` with array indices for symmetry. This seems like needless churn - let's just leave things be until 0.5.
