Type piracies

These features are not available in raw Julia, so introducing them should not break anything, except potential ambiguities against other packages.

// falls back to / for general arguments

julia> 1.0 // 2.0
0.5

Complex supports eps, precision, ceil and floor

julia> eps(1.0+im)
2.220446049250313e-16

julia> precision(1.0+im)
53

julia> ceil(0.5+0.5im)
1.0 + 1.0im

julia> floor(0.5+0.5im)
0.0 + 0.0im

AbstractVector supports Base.front and Base.tail

julia> Base.front([1,2,3])
2-element Vector{Int64}:
 1
 2

julia> Base.tail(1:10)
2:10

Function compositions of Fix

julia> Base.Fix1(+, 1) ∘ Base.Fix1(+, 2) === Base.Fix1(+, 3)
true

julia> Base.Fix2(*, 2) ∘ Base.Fix2(*, 3) === Base.Fix2(*, 6)
true

julia> Base.Fix1(+, 2)^3 === Base.Fix1(+, 6)
true

julia> exp2 ∘ log2 === identity
true

Others

• Tuple copying
• In raw Julia, searchsorted, searchsortedfirst and searchsortedlast only support AbstractVector when the starting index and the ending index are specified. The support is now extended to anything that supports getindex.
• summary now supports several inputs like print. The outputs are separated by commas.
