Basic struct usage questions

Also, I think you’ve been misinformed about Number and Unitful :

Reference for question #2:

Are generic types worth the complexity?

It’s worth it to at least annotate argument types as AbstractVector or alike. Because it won’t be long before someone would like to pass an array view to a function that only accepts Vectors. I would not recommend constraining the element type of collection at all because e.g. units from Unitful.jl do not subtype Number but may be used as number-like values in many circumstances. I agree that it’s a bit disturbing, but couldn’t find a better solution
