Has this been announced somewhere? (Frankly,I'm not reading julia-dev on a
regular basis.)
I see that the manual does not reflects this change. See section
"Vectorized Operators and Functions":
Some operators without dots operate elementwise anyway
when one argument is a scalar.
These operators are *, /, \, and the bitwise operators.
though ".+", ".-" are not in the list of binary arithmetic operators
anymore (and do work properly).
And actually, 1 / [1.0, 2.0] does now operate elementwise, but gives a
"deprecated" warning once.
Will it be deprecated, or stay alive as the manual claims.
Dear core developers, don't listen to Julia newbies (like me) too closely
-- stick to what you think is reasonable.
