constructor for 0 dimensional array on julia 0.4 and 0.5

[musm]

It is not possible to construct a 0 dimensional array as follows

Array{Int,0}()

in Julia 0.4. and 0.5.

It's also not possible to construct a 0 dimensional array as follows in julia 0.4 (but is valid in 0.5)

Array{Int,0}(())

Would it be possible to support such a syntax by defining the requisite constructors or would this require a @compat macro?

Closing this, because I think I should have just used a Ref instead for my use case.
