Yes, that is the sort of thing I want! I guess the type of the returned
array is determined by the type of the argument passed.
BTW, after the first fix to my PnGen, the time for the julia code is about
equal to the python/c++ code. Not bad I suppose for a 1st try, although
this code is pretty trivial.
