As far as I can tell, it is a bug. It's been logged as an issue for at least two years. The response from one of the developers does not inspire a great deal of confidence: "I was hoping nobody would notice this..." https://github.com/JuliaLang/julia/issues/265 People keep logging it too: https://github.com/JuliaLang/julia/issues/5308 I realize this is coming from someone who has never done anything like rolling his own language. If I'm wrong, and there is a reason for Julia to work this way, I'm happy to eat my words. If I'm right, and Julia is some sort of half baked student project, it is incredibly irresponsible of the Julia team to be thumping the tub that their doodad is the future. Mind you, I use R in my day to day work, and it is sort of inherently problematic as a language, but I figure such issues should be faced up to. -Scott ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For information about J forums see http://www.jsoftware.com/forums.htm
