Description
Currently `similar` will return an array of a different type:
```python
from juliacall import Main as jl
import numpy as np
x = np.random.randn(5)
y = jl.similar(x)
print(jl.typeof(x))
# PyArray{Float64, 1, true, true, Float64}
print(jl.typeof(y))
# Vector{Float64}
```
This can introduce some type instabilities in libraries due to the assumption that container type is preserved by `similar`.
I guess we just need the "optional methods" from here: https://docs.julialang.org/en/v1/manual/interfaces/#man-interface-array
