Indeed, thank you Dirk!

I have now added 'Julia' in the relevant places in
doc/currfeat.texi

but not yet to other places, where supported "statistical packages"
are enumerated.   In my eyes, julia currently is what the makers
declare themselves (http://julialang.org/):
 " a high-level, high-performance dynamic programming language
   for technical computing "
but not (yet ??) a stats package.
