RE some kind of `@unpack` macro: have a look at this question on Stack Overflow and its answers: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/9345056/in-clojure-how-to-destructure-all-the-keys-of-a-map/11182432#11182432
Interestingly enough it is possible to an extent, but for many reasons ends up being a bad idea. What you probably want instead is the Dictionary type - see below. Using it, you can write params[:a], params[:b] etc. http://docs.julialang.org/en/release-0.2/stdlib/base/#indexable-collections That said, it would be nice to have some kind of map destructuring macro similar to Clojure's. Hopefully the pattern matching libraries will eventually include something along those lines. Hope this helps, Mike
