[julia-users] Automatic conversion from 1x1 matrix/array/vector to a real/float num.

[Xiaowei Song]

v=zeros(2,3)
x=rand(1,1)
v[2,1]=x
# `convert` has no method matching convert(::Type{Float64}, 
::Array{Float64, 2})

#work around
function returnNum(x)
  return x[1]
end
v[2,2]=returnNum(v)

Has anyone encountered this situation and want a change?
Is there any other better work around?
Or should Julia add the automatic conversion from 1x1 matrix to a num?

Thanks,
