Oh man thanks for this link. Makes me feel better that I am not alone in 
feeling this pain. This is really the first *wart* I have felt in the 
language decisions in Julia. Forcing iterators as the default such a common 
array generation object feels so needless. Calling any code that asks for a 
concrete array instead of a AbstractArray also feels dangerous... 
especially when at first approximation almost all the builtin basic array 
generation functions returns concrete arrays.
