I just observed the following on v1.4 (so apologies if it is gone on v1.5). julia> x = [ rand(0:9, 2) for a = 1:3 ] 3-element Array{Array{Int64,1},1}: [3, 8] [2, 4] [3, 1] julia> x[1,1] 2-element Array{Int64,1}: 3 8 julia> x[1] 2-element Array{Int64,1}: 3 8 Why does x[1,1] work at all, an…

There is a short note at the end of this chapter: https://docs.julialang.org/en/v1/manual/arrays/#Omitted-and-extra-indices You can in your example do: julia> x[1,1,1,1,1] 2-element Array{Int64,1}: 7 3

Why is the following behaviour not a bug?
