Dot-assignment fails with MethodError: no method matching dotview

[sdl1]

julia> using AxisArrays

julia> x = AxisArray(rand(3, 3));

julia> x[row=1:2] .= 1
ERROR: MethodError: no method matching dotview(::AxisArray{Float64,2,Array{Float64,2},Tuple{Axis{:row,Base.OneTo{Int64}},Axis{:col,Base.OneTo{Int64}}}}; row=1:2)

(Julia 1.4.1, AxisArrays 0.4.3)

In NamedDims.jl the dotview method was defined to give this functionality, see comment here, is this needed here?

@mbauman did we ever progress on this?
I think we may have stopped in
