`similar` for `FieldVector` converting to `MVector`/`SizedVector`
similar when called with a FieldVector should output an array type equal to the input type (with possibly different eltype if specified). However the current behavior does not do this. For immutable eltypes, it converts to an MVector:
julia> using StaticArrays
julia> mutable struct Quaternion{T <: Number} <: FieldVector{4, T}
q0::T
q1::T
q2::T
q3::T
end
julia> q = Quaternion(1,2,3,4)
4-element Quaternion{Int64} with indices SOneTo(4):
1
2
3
4
julia> similar(q) # This should be a `Quaternion{Int64}`
4-element MVector{4, Int64} with indices SOneTo(4):
4472459824
1
563205
1
And for mutable eltypes, a SizedVector:
julia> mutable struct MyNum{T} <: Number
num::T
end
julia> q = Quaternion{MyNum{Int64}}(MyNum(1),MyNum(2),MyNum(3),MyNum(4))
4-element Quaternion{MyNum{Int64}} with indices SOneTo(4):
MyNum{Int64}(1)
MyNum{Int64}(2)
MyNum{Int64}(3)
MyNum{Int64}(4)
julia> similar(q)
4-element SizedVector{4, MyNum{Int64}, Vector{MyNum{Int64}}} with indices SOneTo(4):
