Hi Petr,
Here, `f` is a singleton type. For this function, you could call myfunction
with
myfunction(Int, 2, 3)
and the value of `f` would be the type `Int` (with type Type{Int}).
There is a brief section in the manual (
http://docs.julialang.org/en/latest/manual/types/#singleton-types), but it
doesn't seem to be discussed in the Parametric Functions section, although
it is discussed more under Coversions (
http://docs.julialang.org/en/latest/manual/conversion-and-promotion/#conversion
).
Cheers,
Kevin
