As discussed on Discourse, it would be nice to have !foo return a ComposedFunction, which would

1. allow dispatch and specialized methods for !foo
2. allow nicer pretty printing of !foo as "!foo" rather than as "#xx (generic function with 1 method)" (by overloading show for ComposedFunction{typeof(!)}

Ankit Shah and I are trying to use Gen to support a project and would love the addition of a dirichlet distribution

Details

This shouldn't happen

using Plots
plot(rand(4,4), layout = 2, series_annotations = [1 2; 3 4])
Error showing value of type Plots.Plot{Plots.GRBackend}:
ERROR: type Array has no field baseshape
Stacktrace:
  [1] getproperty(x::Vector{Plots.SeriesAnnotations}, f::Symbol)

Compare https://github.com/JuliaPlots/Makie.jl/blob/master/src/stats/boxplot.jl#L31-L64 with http://makie.juliaplots.org/stable/plotting_functions/boxplot.html#Makie.boxplot
This should be a good beginner issue :)

Elevator Pitch

Right now Jupyter LSP show it's suggestions on every period. I'd like to have a feature that only generates the suggestions when a hotkey is pressed. (Shift Tab, etc)

Motivation

One of my users asked for the feature.

Design Ideas

As noted on slack, I've run into a couple of road-blocks when exploring some features. Noting them here for posterity:

• on this page, there's an example block with {{ispage blog/*}} {{insert head_blog}}{{end}}. ispage has some documentation here, but I can't find wher

I noticed it done here: https://github.com/JuliaIO/HDF5Plugins.jl/blob/main/Project.toml

I noticed in this package Blosc is commented out, for some reason (also not in the package above/main HDF5), not sure why, I don't really care if it's supported if the best format is support that I think is Zstd (seems also important for compatibility with main format):

Sometimes one might want to do multiple assignments in a single line to reduce number of lines of code, e.g.

Pmin, Pmax = get_pmin(fnm.system), get_pmax(fnm.system)

If this is considered bad style by us, we should probably add a comment about this in the docs.
