Mittag-Leffler for array arguments?

[moustachio-belvedere]

Hey again,

I normally use this for array arguments (in z, not in alpha or beta) so at first I just had a convenience function which did an array comprehension on the original mittleff function.

However, I did some benchmarking last week with @parallel, pmap and @threads and found that @threads provides a fairly consistent speedup of 2-3x for array arguments. Is this something you would be interesting in absorbing into this package? If so I can set up a pull request.

The tricky thing is that @threads is still an 'experimental' feature in Julia as of v0.6.

Cheers

Louis

I think its better not to include multithreading in the package. Multithreading is rarely used in packages. In this case, it is used at the top level of the API, so you don't gain much.

But, it would be nice to have a more general and convenient way to apply multithreading. For instance, threading that works with broadcasting or array comprehension.
