Hello everyone,

For example, In julia 0.4, SharedArray{Int}(100) does not work, while 
Array{Int}(100).
It's kind of inconsistency, though we could get around it by 
SharedArray(Int, 100).

Is there any particular reason for not having SharedArray{T}() constructor?


And I also tried to define a new constructor for SharedArray like the 
follow:
1. SharedArray{T}(x::Int) = SharedArray(T, Int) or,
2. call{T}(Type{Base.SharedArray{T}}, x::Int64) = SharedArray(T, x)
Both are illegal. The first one is because T is not used in parameters. and 
the second one is because "Type{Base.SharedArray{T}}" is invalid.

But intuitively, I thought both should be right. Can someone also explain 
this?

Thanks in advance!
