bsxfun now only visible as Base.bsxfun()

[anoe]

In the latest OS X binary, Julia-0.2-pre.dmg (13 hours old), the visibility of bsxfun has changed. See:

julia> a = rand(10);

julia> bsxfun(+,a,a)
ERROR: bsxfun not defined

julia> Base.bsxfun(+,a,a)
10-element Float64 Array:
1.55557
1.03718
1.84706
1.73098
0.498599
1.81505
1.16691
0.697623
0.486571
0.558718

This cannot be intended?

bsxfun is meant to be deprecated in favor of broadcast, see #3100. That said, it's not a complete replacement yet, and I at least have not touched the old bxsfun so far.

Ah, okay then... I'll just use broadcast instead. Thanks!

We should either reinstate bsxfun if it is different, or add a deprecation. What we have right now is kind of in-between.

I realized that I removed the export for bsxfun when I added the export for broadcast. Sorry about that. Will pull in the old bsxfun as a fallback for broadcast and add a deprecation for bsxfun.

I've reexported bsxfun for now. Will deal with this properly when I have the time to do so.
