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.
