AbstractSparse exports are not defined

[joehuchette]

AbstractSparseArray/AbstractSparseMatrix are exported from Base but are no longer accessible without qualification:

julia> AbstractSparseMatrix
ERROR: UndefVarError: AbstractSparseMatrix not defined

julia> Base.SparseMatrix.AbstractSparseMatrix
Base.SparseMatrix.AbstractSparseArray{Tv,Ti,2}

julia> AbstractSparse#TAB
AbstractSparseArray  AbstractSparseMatrix  AbstractSparseVector

On a slightly related note, @andreasnoack What about exporting AbstractTriangular?

[andreasnoack]

@ViralBShah I forgot to reply here. I don't think that AbstractTriangular is so useful outside LinAlg. It is convenient for some definitions inside the module, but I don't think it will be used much beyond that.
