I’m not quite sure I’m understanding you correctly, but it sounds like you want to define a _new_ function for arrays, and then also extend that to a new type.

It might help if you could give a broader explanation of what you’re trying to do. It’s still sounding a bit like you just want some new `AbstractArray` methods, in which case what you should do is define `Daggered <: AbstractArray` and then simply define some methods which take an `AbstractArray` argument, i.e.

```julia
trait(A::AbstractArray, args...) = # some code

```

(perhaps see some [documentation](https://docs.julialang.org/en/latest/manual/types/#Abstract-Types-1) on abstract types).

Again, not sure if this is a real example, but `Daggered` of a matrix sounds quite a lot like an adjoint to me, so it might be worth looking through some of the array and linear algebra docs to see if what you’re doing is already implemented.
