Overriding behavior for a particular eltype of a container is piracy against the container. I have no particular attachment to this particular solution; perhaps you want to define a
CookieRequeststruct and then overloadBase.show? Anyway, this seemed like the easiest approach, but I do not know how this package interacts with a wider ecosystem so this change could, for all I know, be breaking.Deleting this method (or replacing it with a private one) eliminates approximately 250 method invalidations, mostly from
Base.show_unquotedwhich rampantly callsstring(::String, args...). It's a small enough effect that it's a little difficult to measure, but this change seems to shave about 5% off TTFP.
