[julia-users] Anonymous functions now faster? Need for functors?

[Ben Ward]

Hi,

I just saw this merged PR .

In the past I used the functor trick of defining a type, and then a call 
method for the type, and passing this to a function, to get past the 
anonymous function inefficiency.

Does this PR mean (to a mortal like me) that on 0.5 now this is no longer 
necessary?

Thanks,
Ben.
