oh i see. this has to be put inside the type declaration now:

```julia
reinterpret(SMatrix{2,3,Float64,6},A,(5,))

5-element Array{StaticArrays.SArray{Tuple{2,3},Float64,2,6},1}:
 [0.00793254 0.304444 0.932803; 0.765576 0.847383 0.391187]
 [0.651666 0.885873 0.648122; 0.146218 0.261972 0.594099]  
 [0.410662 0.523081 0.945088; 0.129933 0.144542 0.227049]  
 [0.975269 0.86898 0.997614; 0.909002 0.329853 0.73141]    
 [0.351473 0.864738 0.769397; 0.79498 0.977108 0.390928]
