This is as far as I got. I got stuck at the
MulAdd(::Mul)
constructor, which callsmulzeros
, which callsZeros
forNumber
eltypes. So, either this means we have a strong dependency, or there is a work-around. Perhaps, after JuliaArrays/FillArrays.jl#286 FillArrays.jl is light enough anyway, but if there is a simple enough work-around, I think it would be still beneficial to reduce strong dependencies as much as possible. I'm leaving for summer holidays, so I'm putting this up for comments.
