This PR adds
AbstractPDMat(::AbstractMatrix)
,AbstractPDMat(::Cholesky)
andAbstractPDMat(::CholTypeSparse)
.The main motivation is that this allows to specialize on the matrix type, which allows downstream packages such as Distributions (e.g. in https://github.com/JuliaStats/Distributions.jl/blob/9f9c5caf6cd99c5205a11ca1c8d6b6471fc9ce29/src/multivariate/mvnormal.jl#L201-L203) to just use
AbstractPDMat(A)
instead of adding custom dispatches.Unfortunately, we can't add something like
AbstractPDMat(A::UniformScaling)
(size unknown) orAbstractPDMat(A::Diagonal{<:Real,<:FillArrays.Fill{<:Real}})
(FillArrays dependency).Fixes #136 (without lying about the return type).
