Thanks for doing this. Let's see what Travis says (and hope Travis isn't wrong).

It has failed the v0.3.10 test I think, but passed the nightly test. This was expected right? @spencerlyon2

Yes, I think this should be expected because @irrational is only defined on 0.4dev.

Getting something into Compat would (probably) be the best way to resolve the problem. That entails defining the @irrational as an unexported member of Base (from within Compat), making a release of Compat, then leveraging the new compat from within distributions.

I took a different route in JuliaLang/Compat.jl#109 and defined Compat.@irrational instead of mucking with Base. If you change this code to import Compat.@irrational it should work once that's merged and Compat is bumped.

[ranjanan]

Cool stuff @simonster . Let's hope Travis passes both tests.

@simonster can a new version be tagged?
