Ah, I see. Yeah, at least I'm not aware of how to do that with a
comprehension. You can unroll what a comprehension does and do it like:
z = zeros(3,2)
for i = 1:3
z[i,:] = f()
end
It seems like it would be convenient to support syntax like:
[f()... for i = 1:3]
but you might need a way to specify the dimensions of the resulting matrix
as well.
