would you mind updating this, I just ran it and did not know how to
change " {T <: Furnature}" to "Use Any[a,b, ..] instead", thank you
julia> abstract Furnature
julia> type Table <: Furnature
end
julia> f({T <: Furnature})(::Type{T}) = 10
WARNING: deprecated syntax "{a,b, ...}".
Use "Any[a,b, ...]" instead.
ERROR: syntax: invalid method name "f({T<:Furnature})"
julia> f(::Furnature) = 17
f (generic function with 1 method)
julia> f(Furniture)
ERROR: UndefVarError: Furniture not defined
julia> f(Table)
ERROR: MethodError: `f` has no method matching f(::Type{Table})
julia> f(Table())
17
