   Another method addition in this package that causes invalidation is ifelse. Basically the same case as the other issues. Except, I suppose, you can't get rid of that method without breaking changes.

   Regarding testing the invalidation count, I vehemently support adding such tests to upstream (issue JuliaLang/julia#47022, PR JuliaLang/julia#57884), however it's tricky to test invalidations for a package. The issue is that invalidation depends on both:

   • What is loaded before starting to measure, which is the sysimage at the very least, perhaps also other packages.

   • The dependencies of your package, as they need to be loaded before your package can be loaded.

   So I suppose you would need to pin both the version of Julia, and of all your deps for the test that counts invalidations, which limits the usefulness of the test somewhat.
