I can assign a single element of a view:
julia> view(a,:,:)[1,1] = 2
2
julia> a
10x10 Array{Int64,2}:
2 5 5 5 5 5 5 5 5 5
5 5 5 5 5 5 5 5 5 5
5 5 5 5 5 5 5 5 5 5
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10
But this doesn't work?
julia> view(a,:,:)[1,:] = 2
ERROR: `setindex!` has no method matching setindex!
(::ContiguousView{Int64,2,Array{Int64,2}}, ::Int64, ::Int64,
::UnitRange{Int64})
While this does?
julia> a[1,:]=2
2
So ArrayView is not a 1st-class array?
