This is a pretty useless PR, but I noticed this in https://discourse.julialang.org/t/how-is-matrix-defined/60325. Seems like this is just a relic from older versions of Julia, since type alias declarations should be declared as const automatically. These changes were generated using the following command: `perl -i -p -e 's/^const (.+\{.+\} =)/\1/g' **/*.jl`.

FWIW, I prefer to keep them to make it consistent with the case without type parameters. |

Ok, didn't expect this to be controversial. I always think of this syntax like short-form function definitions, where the const is also implicit. Since people seem to like the explicit const declaration though, I am just going to close this. |
