`ModuleDispatcher`: dispatch on symbols (module name) instead of dispatching on modules
Support for older Julia versions was dropped recently in order to be able to dispatch on modules.
Instead of dispatching on modules, could we dispatch on symbols? This would allow us to restore support for older Julia versions/
We would need to revert #122 and add back Compat as a dependency. What versions of Julia do you need?
The other issue with symbols is there could be clashes, because we check at every level of nesting. So I’d rather the more accurate version. But we could have a global IdDict and register stuff there or something like that.
However for me part of the motivation was just dropping Compat.jl to remove another dep and simplifying by only supporting the LTS and newer.
