I've come to wish that in cases like this (and in vec, reshape and soon-to-be slicing) the resulting type clearly shows the user it is a ArrayView, SubArray or something like AliasArray. I've never like the invisible fusing of variables in Python and since Julia's type system is so expressive I figure it's the perfect way to illustrates some of the virtues of Julia's design ( ie inviting to beginners but deep power).
Anyhoo, sorry for the rant. Love the language. Cheers.
