Hi Davide,
Looks like an issue of operator precedence:
http://docs.julialang.org/en/release-0.4/manual/mathematical-operations/#operator-precedence
That is, since `\` is higher precedence than `:`, your initial line is being
parsed as `(randn(3, 3)\1):3`, so the error seems to be correct.
Cheers,
Josh

Hi,
Is this a parsing "error" worth reporting?
