Research direction

Start by reproducing the reported size(VectorOfArray([randn(2), randn(4)])) result in Julia and inspect how VectorOfArray handles size and iteration. Determine the intended behavior for differently sized arrays; the issue is complete when that behavior is defined, implemented, and covered by a regression test.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

julia> size(VectorOfArray([randn(2), randn(4)]))
(2, 2)

This is surprising at least, and runs the risk of subtle bugs if one tries to iterate on the VectorOfArray as if it was a multi-dimensional array.
