In the blog post Tutorial on precompilation there is a line cabs = AbstractFloat[1.0f0] . While trying to understand the syntax I found one case in the documentation, in the section Conversion there is a = Any[1 2 3; 4 5 6]. What is this syntax? Does it have anything to do with abstract types?

[image] HenrikM: This question is not about the performance of abstract types, it is about the syntax in the examples. The syntax is explained here, under “Typed Array Literals”: Single- and multi-dimensional Arrays · The Julia Language
