Until the issue with generators is resolved, this may suffice: f2x{T}(t::Function,a::AbstractArray{T})::Dict{T,T} = Dict((x,t(x)) for x in a)
I think that diverts all the ambiguities to checks by conversion methods. On Sunday, November 13, 2016 at 11:16:20 AM UTC-5, bogumil....@gmail.com wrote: > > I have the folowing questions: > > 1.
