I have defined a struct MyType and the corresponding method copy(a::MyType). Now I would like to have a method to copy an Array of MyType, applying this method to each element of the array. What is the proper Julian way of doing it?

RecursiveArrayTools.jl recursivecopy. Add a dispatch for your MyType.

Semi-deep copy of array

Yup that’s the right way to do it. Or just add a dispatch to copy for you type, and it’ll automatically find it when it recurses.

I wanna add this to Base sometime.
