I've filed an issue for further
discussion: https://github.com/JuliaLang/julia/issues/18906
No, promote_type is working.
I think this is intended behavior: if you construct a Dict with keys and/or
values of different types, then it will default to using Any. For example:
julia> Dict(3=>4, 3.5=>4.5)
Dict{Any,Any} with 2 entries:
3 => 4
3.5 => 4.5
This was true in Julia 0.4
With one element only, type inference gives:
julia> typeof(Dict(sin => sin))
Dict{Base.#sin,Base.#sin}
