Just wondering if there is an operator to easily perform known conversion. Say I have a function that takes a Symbol, and I want it to accept a String as well:
function test(s::Symbol) end What I want to do is say, "yes I know this is not a Symbol - so please convert() it" mystr = "foo" test(mystr::Symbol) This would translate to: mystr = "foo" test(convert(Symbol, mystr)) Is there any such operator? I would have thought doing this with the current type assert would make sense? Regards, Fil.
