[julia-users] A[]: Accessing array with empty index

[Carlos Becker]

My apologies if this is something that was addressed before, I didn't find 
it.

Why does myArray[] return the first element of the array? is there a 
reasoning behind it or is it an 'unexpected language feature'?
For example:

a = [1,2,3,4]
a[]   => returns 1


Thanks.
