`hvcat` concatenation syntax produces matrices, such as in ``` julia> [1 2; 3 4…] 2×2 Array{Int64,2}: 1 2 3 4 julia> [1 2] 1×2 Array{Int64,2}: 1 2 ``` But there is no corresponding way to create a single column matrix: ``` julia> [1; 3] 2-element Array{Int64,1}: 1 3 julia> [1;] 1-element Array{Int64,1}: 1 ``` I suggest that the latter should invoke `hvcat` and not `vcat`, to produce matrices. This implies that there would be no special `vcat` syntax any more.
