Broken for current 0.4?

[timholy]

I decided to check this package out. Is it broken by the require(::Symbol) change?

A.jl:

module A

using Requires

export foo, bar

foo(x) = "hello"
@require B begin
    println("defining bar")
    bar(y::B.Btype) = "there"
end

end

B.jl:

module B

export Btype

type Btype
    val::Int
end

end

Test:

julia> using Requires, A

julia> foo(7)
"hello"

julia> using B

julia> bar(7)
ERROR: UndefVarError: bar not defined

I'm guessing the require(::Symbol) thing is hard to get around?

Hmm, looks that way. I think the require(::Symbol) change must've gone over my head, any chance I could get a reference for that?

Should be workaroundable either way.

That's an immensely clever hack. 😄

require(::Symbol) comes from JuliaLang/julia#12040 and JuliaLang/julia#8745.

It'll take a bit more of a challenge to make me deprecate this package :) Thanks for the link!
