I often have to “categorise” a vector of struct elements by a specific field and I wanted to get rid of some duplicated logic and generalise the categorisation, however I hit the penalty of runtime (dynamic) lookup of the field type, which I need to create the output dictionary. I though the inferen…

It should help if you make the compiler compile functions for every fieldname, and it wont for Symbol. But you can force multiple versions using Val{:x}(). Have a wrapper function that will constant propagate the symbol (i.e. @inline), then wrap it with Val and call the method again. Oh I see you t…
