How to parse vector/array of string?

On 0.5, there is a sneaky trick that I learnt today: wrap the first argument in square brackets:

julia> x = ["3.1", "-17.2"]
2-element Array{String,1}:
 "3.1"
 "-17.2"

julia> parse.([Float64], x)
2-element Array{Float64,1}:
   3.1
 -17.2

On 0.6, it’s just

julia> parse.(Float64, x)
