FYI, I found this by counting the number of parameters

I was trying to test this PR but with no success---do I need a different version of `pyjulia` or do I mis-understand what this PR solves (I thought it's to...

@maleadt Any comments on this?

Would it make sense to make https://github.com/JuliaGPU/CuArrays.jl/blob/master/src/linalg.jl take use of this?

Emmm. Together with `qr!`, this implementation seems to be slower than what we have in https://github.com/JuliaGPU/CuArrays.jl/blob/master/src/linalg.jl#L9-L13

Good point!

I guess we should keep both then. I use `\` in a case where no reuse could be taken.
