That was clear from the usage of Val, but I am still not really getting it.

returning an abstract Inverse object, why I don't really care much about
because there should not be an `inv` function to begin with (just my
opinion). For every-day use, I'd much rather call
chol(A, :U)
instead of
chol(A, Val{:U})
Can anybody explain to my why it is a bad idea to have both ways to call
`chol`?
Thanks,
