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.

For what I asked – yes, copy.(a) would work. Well, that’s that simple.
