Research direction

Start by reading src/vector_of_array.jl at line 14 to confirm how linear indexing is marked deprecated. Find the corresponding documentation section, update it to reflect that deprecation, and verify the rendered documentation no longer presents linear indexing as supported.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

bug

The documentation does not reflect the deprecation of linear indexing (which I find a bit sad BTW):
