error with julia new type system

[CarloLucibello]

on julia 0.6, after JuliaLang/julia#18457, I get the following error

ERROR: LoadError: LoadError: ArgumentError: method definition for Type at /home/carlo/.julia/v0.6/DataStructures/src/hash_dict.jl:72 has free type variables
Stacktrace:

And here is the culprit

HashDict{V}(kv::Tuple{Vararg{Pair{TypeVar(:K),V}}}) = HashDict{Any,V}(kv)

Thanks for the report. HashDict is about to be removed in #252, so this should hopefully be resolved then.

same problem on that branch for OrderedDict:

See the Dict constructors in Base for how to rewrite these. e.g.

Dict{V  }(ps::(Pair{K,V} where K)...,) = Dict{Any,V}(ps)

[kmsquire]

Ok. I assume test syntax doesn't parse on earlier versions of Julia, so these changes will have to be v0.6 only?

[kmsquire]

Fixed by #257. (Needs to be tagged.)

Yep, a tag would be great.
