`namedtuple` for vector or pairs should allow abstract vector

[pdeffebach]

Definitely an oversight on my part

[JeffreySarnoff]

Adding this to next version.

Ah sorry I didn't respond. The motivation was, someone had a matrix of pairs and wanted to turn it into a vector of named tuples

x = [(:a => 1) (:b => 2); (:a => 3) (:b => 4)]

and namedtuple.(eachrow(x)) failed because the "rows" in eachrow are subarrays.

[JeffreySarnoff]

That is a good example.
this works now

x = [(:a => 1) (:b => 2); (:a => 3) (:b => 4); (:a => 5) (:b => 6)]
y = [ namedtuple(x[i,:]) for i=1:size(x)[1] ]

3-element Vector{NamedTuple{(:a, :b), Tuple{Int64, Int64}}}:
 (a = 1, b = 2)
 (a = 3, b = 4)
 (a = 5, b = 6)

notes

julia> using NamedTupleTools

julia> x = [(:a => 1) (:b => 2); (:a => 3) (:b => 4); (:a => 5) (:b => 6)]
3×2 Matrix{Pair{Symbol, Int64}}:
 :a=>1  :b=>2
 :a=>3  :b=>4
 :a=>5  :b=>6

julia> namedtuple.(Vector.(eachrow(x)))
3-element Vector{NamedTuple{(:a, :b), Tuple{Int64, Int64}}}:
 (a = 1, b = 2)
 (a = 3, b = 4)
 (a = 5, b = 6)

so

julia> namedtuple(x::AbstractArrray) = namedtuple(Array(x))
julia> namedtuple.( eachrow(x) )
3-element Vector{NamedTuple{(:a, :b), Tuple{Int64, Int64}}}:
 (a = 1, b = 2)
 (a = 3, b = 4)
 (a = 5, b = 6)

[JeffreySarnoff]

julia> t = [(:a => 1) (:b => 2); (:a => 3) (:b => 4); (:a => 5) (:b => 6)];

julia> collect(NamedTuple(t[i,:]) for i=1:size(t)[1])
3-element Vector{NamedTuple{(:a, :b), Tuple{Int64, Int64}}}:
 (a = 1, b = 2)
 (a = 3, b = 4)
 (a = 5, b = 6)
