Starting from Julia v1.10, using PlotlyJS.jl as a dependency of any other package causes the precompilation of this other package to be stuck, as explained in JuliaLang/julia#50505. This PR fixes that.
The root cause of the issue was JuliaLang/julia#48506. To be honest, I'm not sure I understand why the behavior of the
__init__
function of PlotlyJS should livelock the precompilation of other packages... but I was inspired by https://github.com/JuliaDebug/Cthulhu.jl/pull/343/files and https://github.com/JuliaImages/ImageView.jl/pull/279/files, which targeted similar issues, for this PR.
