Transformation from ProjString type does not work

[felixcremer]

I thought, that ProjString objects should work similar to plain strings with the proj information, but here it works with strings but fails with ProjString:

julia> equi7_eu_projstring = "+proj=aeqd +lat_0=53 +lon_0=24 +x_0=5837287.81977 +y_0=2121415.69617 +datum=WGS84 +units=m +no_defs"
"+proj=aeqd +lat_0=53 +lon_0=24 +x_0=5837287.81977 +y_0=2121415.69617 +datum=WGS84 +units=m +no_defs"

julia> trans = Proj.Transformation(equi7_eu_projstring, "EPSG:3857", always_xy=true)

Yeah there is no difference. It must be the code path in Proj.jl missing some dispatch

You need a +type=crs in the proj-string for it to work with Proj.CRS. Perhaps we can catch the error and modify the text a bit?
