Agreed, but I think this whole debate is centered around the fact (as I see it) that people *want* this to mean something different in different situations. I *want* `map(y...

> which slots consume functions Indeed, with this proposal, we can (maybe) have: ```julia map(abs(_), a) is map(x->abs(x), a) map(func, _) is a->map(func, a) ``` Um. I'm not sure whether...

To throw in a much more crazy idea: could we use contextual dispatch to override the behavior of all reductions and comparisons within a whole expression so that they are...

Seems likely to be the same bug as https://github.com/SciML/RuntimeGeneratedFunctions.jl/issues/13 — possibly a Julia runtime problem.

Agreed, all good suggestions.

A very good question, I now suspect this issue is more of a misunderstanding on my part about what should be expected from the function than any real problem with...

The corresponding code in octave and scipy uses the Hamming and Hann(ing) windows respectively. Octave has some good commentary on the effect of window choice, zero padding, etc, and also...
