Here's one flavor of possible solution, written with the access of data fields in mind (proposal 2 from https://github.com/JuliaLang/julia/issues/30975) ## Proposal 2: Module-local lowering of field access Change the lowering...

Thanks! There's also https://github.com/JuliaLang/julia/issues/30204. I've added these to the document.

Another example of this: AWS.jl has a new Downloads-based backend (https://github.com/JuliaCloud/AWS.jl/pull/396) but they needed to set `Curl.CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION` to false. Currently they're accepting a potential race condition in one part of...

Thanks for those links, the paper "Immutable Source-Mapped Abstract Syntax Tree: A Design Pattern for Refactoring Engine APIs" was particularly helpful (very slightly more complete version here: http://jeff.over.bz/papers/2013/plop2013.pdf)

Hey Andy, I wrote the first two doc review parts to you in an email... but thought I'd continue here (for the syntax highlighting etc). I'm up to IO: ##...
