I'm writing some code which takes 2-dimensional Julia arrays and converts them to an external matrix type.
For example Mat([1 2; 3 4; 5 6]) creates a 3x2 matrix. But I cannot figure out the syntax for nx1 arrays in Julia. Note that I need to be able to construct nx1 and 1xn matrices. I assumed the syntax would be [1 2 3] for 1x3 and [1; 2; 3] for 3x1. But this doesn't seem to work, currently. It looks like the latter is a synonym for [1, 2, 3], which makes no sense at all to me. Also, what's with julia> transpose(transpose([1; 2; 3])) == [1; 2; 3] false ?
