Missing Channel constructor?

[andrioni]

julia> Channel()
Channel{Any}(sz_max:32,sz_curr:0)

julia> Channel{Int64}()
ERROR: MethodError: `convert` has no method matching convert(::Type{Channel{Int64}})
This may have arisen from a call to the constructor Channel{Int64}(...),
since type constructors fall back to convert methods.
Closest candidates are:
  convert{T}(::Type{T}, ::T)
  Channel{T}(, ::Any)
  call{T}(::Type{T}, ::Any)
 in call at essentials.jl:59
 in eval at ./boot.jl:265

julia> Channel{Int64}(100)
Channel{Int64}(sz_max:100,sz_curr:0)

This is at commit 8fb848a.

This is reproducible on latest master.

Can't reproduce - got deprecated. Time to close?

WARNING: The empty constructor Channel() is deprecated.
 The channel size needs to be specified explictly. Defaulting to Channel{Int64}(32).
