On my phone. Looks great, thanks. One nuance: you can index any array with either style---these are just signals from the developer about which one is implemented/faster.

Really nice. Here's a shot at a set of hopefully-slightly-clearer first sentences:

Subtype of [`IndexStyle`](@ref) that is used to describe arrays that are optimally indexed by one linear index.

Subtype of [`IndexStyle`](@ref) that is used to describe arrays that are optimally indexed by a Cartesian index with the same number of indices as there are dimensions in the array.

I also have a slight preference for separating out the first sentence in a docstring as a stand-alone "summary" line (a paragraph by itself).

Is it specified how offset arrays should transform between linear and Cartesian indexes? The description seems accurate for 1-based arrays.

base/indices.jl Outdated
either linear indexing or cartesian indexing. If you decide to
implement linear indexing, then you must set this trait for your array
you define a new [`AbstractArray`](@ref) type, you can choose to implement
either linear indexing (with [`IndexLinear`](@ref)) wor cartesian indexing.

“wor cartesian” should be “or Cartesian” (w + capital)
