This changes the order of broadcast function definitions to work around #4675.(No longer necessary since bfe8986). It also attempts to fix static type inference for the dimensionality of the returned array to fix #4673, although this only works for cases of sufficiently low dimensionality (code_typed(.*, (Matrix{Float64}, Array{Float64, 8}))
works, butcode_typed(.*, (Matrix{Float64}, Array{Float64, 9}))
does not;code_typed(.*, (Matrix{Float64}, Matrix{Float64}, Matrix{Float64}))
works butcode_typed(.*, (Matrix{Float64}, Matrix{Float64}, Array{Float64, 3}))
does not).I'm not fully satisfied with this, but I'm putting it out there in case someone has an idea of how to make it more satisfactory.
