In particular, can now use generators, e.g. BitArray(isodd(x) for x = 1:20) and similar.
Fixes #3166.

I didn't notice that. I have updated the rst and put this change in a separate commit now.

While not strictly a bugfix, I suppose this could be backported easily (if no issues arise).

It seems like more of a feature, and would be easy to write code that worked in (say) 0.5.2 but not 0.5.0 if it were backported, I'd usually rather not. Could maybe be supported with @compat BitArray though?

@tkelman yes you're right, this is definitely a feature, it's probably best not to backport it after all. As for Compat support, it could be done for 0.5 (just copying the code from this PR in Compat would do the trick), but I think not for 0.4, because 1) generator syntax cannot be parsed, and 2) the constructor dispatches on the shape traits of the iterator argument, which I don't think are available in 0.4.
