Thanks! I'll need @mbauman review as well as I'm not super familiar with the broadcast machinery.

The example

s = StructArray{ComplexF64}((rand(2,2), rand(2,2)))
s .+ s

is very convincing, but what should one expect from

s = StructArray{ComplexF64}((rand(2,2), rand(2,2)))
t = rand(2,2)
s .+ t

Is the rule that, in order for the result to be a StructArray, all members of the broadcasted operation have to be StructArrays and the resulting eltype a struct?


@testset "broadcast" begin
s = StructArray{ComplexF64}((rand(2,2), rand(2,2)))
@test isa(s .+ s, StructArray)

Probably this also needs to test that things like broadcast(t -> 1, s) don't give an error (I'm not sure what exactly should happen when the result of broadcasting StructArrays has a eltype that is not a struct).

This won't work for the case where your StructArray contains a different array than Base.Array. Normally you have to unwrap the wrapper and do the broadcast on the underlying array to reach the right implementation.

Could this help with #124?
