As an optimization, the "dot call" fusion does "inlining" of literal scalars, so that e.g.
f.(x,3)
turns intobroadcast(x -> f(x,3), x)
rather thanbroadcast(f, x, 3)
. This PR expands the range of scalars that are inlined to include JuliaNumber
objects in the AST (and could do the same forString
and some other types once #16966 is fixed … since it is just an optimization, it is okay if we aren't exhaustive).(As was observed in #18176, the parser actually ends up converting things like floating-point literals into Julia objects in the AST, so without this optimization they aren't inlined.)
