add --trim option for generating smaller binaries

First CI of a trimmed binary! :tada: :raised_hands:

add --trim option for generating smaller binaries

Now with `contrib/juliac.jl`! I wasn't sure where to put this script but `contrib` seems like a good place for now. The script is experimental but this branch is now pretty...

This is very strange; I'd love to know why we would infer `Integer` there. I would guess something to do with recursion?

Fix pi == one(pi)*pi or update docs for one()

While of course it would be nice, I don't really see why this so badly *needs* to hold --- many mathematical identities are not true e.g. with floating-point numbers.

Fix pi == one(pi)*pi or update docs for one()

Perhaps a case where a 0-bit integer is useful!

Add meaningful names to AnnotatedString annotations to make their usage understandable

To clarify on the release process issue, yes it is ok to break things in a release candidate in a new feature that is not yet in a final release.

Add meaningful names to AnnotatedString annotations to make their usage understandable

A good approach is to define `const Annotation = @NamedTuple{range::UnitRange{Int}, label::Symbol, value::Any}`, so it has the functionality of a NamedTuple but the `value::Any` declaration is there to avoid dealing with...

Add meaningful names to AnnotatedString annotations to make their usage understandable

Well, here we are, the last item on the 1.11 milestone. This is a good example of how Base is not a good venue for designing novel, complex APIs. Instead...
