[julia-users] Dictionary type inference

[David van Leeuwen]

Hello, 

I have stumbled across the following type inference issue for `Dict`s in 
julia-v0.5:

julia> typeof(Dict(sin => sin, cos => cos))

Dict{Any,Any}

julia> typeof(Dict(x => x for x in [sin, cos]))

Dict{Function,Function}

In Julia-0.5, functions got their own type.  I was surprised to see that 
the type inference in the `Dict(:a => sin, :b => cos)` for the value of the 
dict is `Any` and not `Function`.  In the comprehension syntax, the type of 
the value _is_ generalised to `Function`.  

Is this intended behavior?
