[julia-users] Re: Why does the subtypes method produce an array rather than a set?

[Ismael Venegas Castelló]

You can just do:

@assert subtypes(Type) == [DataType, TypeConstructor, Union]

I just tested this:

julia> @time for i in 1:1000
           @assert subtypes(Type) == [DataType, TypeConstructor, Union]
       end
