Before, these methods were extended with new signatures using big unions. These big unions included Base types, which meant that certain methodinstances using concrete types of Base was being invalidated unnecessarily.
This PR stops the type piracy, cutting invalidations from 2000 -> 362 on recent Julia master.
This number of invalidations is much improved compared to Julia 1.8.2 due to recent invalidation hunting.
I think it's still worth investigating why
StringViews
cause so many invalidations.Superficial snoop compiling suggests that a blank slate Julia sessions has a lot of abstract methodinstances related to strings compiled, such as
thisind(::AbstractString, ::Int64)
.If I understand SnoopCompile correctly, this means the problem might be in Base, not in this package.
