Turns out what I was remembering was something like this
<https://github.com/JuliaLang/julia/blob/8e5d019f005659c5cadcd3a02651b05c7981e14d/base/combinatorics.jl#L358-L377>
for
static function variables rather than type variables. In trying to
duplicate it I run into the fact that you can't declare Types inside of
local scope:
julia> let _x = Any[]
global MyType
type MyType
data
mystatic
MyType(d) = new(d,_x)
end
end
ERROR: error compiling anonymous: type definition not allowed inside a
local scope
