Is it possible to invoke a Method? Ie suppose I picked one from the MethodList returned by methods, and I want to invoke that particular method with given arguments. Eg m=which((+),(Int,Int)) # now how to call m with (1,2)? I tried simply calling it as m(1,2), but apparently Method is not callable…

I think the answer then is: “not really”. Maybe this hack works for you: julia> stripT(T) = Tuple{T.parameters[2:end]...} julia> invoke(getfield(m.module, m.name), stripT(m.sig), 1,4) 5
