Index into NamedTuple with ::Colon

[kescobo]

I should probably have put this in in #38878.

julia> nt = (a = 1, b = 2, c = 3);

julia> nt[[:a, :b]]
(a = 1, b = 2)

julia> nt[:]
ERROR: MethodError: no method matching getindex(::NamedTuple{(:a, :b, :c), Tuple{Int64, Int64, Int64}}, ::Colon)

what's the expected behavior?

getindex(a::NamedTuple, ::Colon) = a

?

[kescobo]

Yeah, I think so.

add "good first issue"?

Hello, I am actually new to open-source. I have tried Julia and thought of getting involved in the community. Since, its a good first issue, can I get some help?

[kescobo]

@x0samnan I would take a look at this blog post. It's a bit dated, but is a good starting point.

Though I was planning to tackle this since it's my fault it got left out 🤷, there are lot of good first issues you could check out :-)

@kescobo Thank You for the response. I will make sure to check them out.
