Is this a real bug? Couldn't you just do `s.map!(a => a.to!real).array` to do what you want?
(In reply to hsteoh from comment #1) > Is this a real bug? No, it's an enhancement request... > Couldn't you just do `s.map!(a => a.to!real).array` to do what you want? Yes, but I think converting lazy ranges is a basic and common need, so it should be supported by "to".
