See Parametric composite type inner constructors in Julia: Why is `where {T}` necessary? - Stack Overflow for the original question. Now parametric inner constructor without where inherits its parameter from global scope if it is defined. I wanted to make sure that it is an intended behavior (the r…

There are three things going on here: The name T is just like any other name, like TT or even Int. When you define a method, the types need to be identified by something — and that thing can be (and almost always is) a global name. Typically it’s a constant global, but it can be non-constant, t…
