You can declare a function to take ::Colon as a parameter:
julia> f(::Colon) = 1
f (generic function with 1 method)
julia> f(:)
1
You could use this to create an overloaded constructor and do something
like:
TVP(a::Array, ::Colon) = TVP(a, 1:length(a))
Not entirely sure if this is what you are
I am trying to construct a type with this definition:
# are two ranges disjoint?
isdisjoint(r1::UnitRange, r2::UnitRange) = isempty(intersect(r1, r2))
# are a collection of ranges all disjoint?
function all_disjoint(rs::UnitRange...)
n = length(rs)
for i=1:n, j=i+1:n
if !(isdisj
