using EltypeExtensions: elconvert

[putianyi889]

The goal is to let multiple packages (FillArrays, QuasiArrays, LazyArrays, etc.) use the same elconvert while not having to depend on each other.

Can you add a description to ElTypeExtensions.jl README?

done.

[putianyi889]

@dlfivefifty can you merge this?

[dlfivefifty]

I think this is fine but perhaps we should move EltypeExtensions.jl to JuliaArrays first?

It's better for it to be a community developed pacakge.

[dlfivefifty]

I think elconvert is not a great name. convert_eltype would be preferable.

This is true.

move EltypeExtensions.jl to JuliaArrays

but this solution doesn't seem great. EltypeExtensions supports all kinds of collections, for example, it could be used for DomainSets.
