Consider using Scratch.jl instead of storing things in .julia/

[KristofferC]

The ~/.julia directory is not really meant as a place for packages to store their stuff in. Imagine if everyone did that and you had hundreds of folders in .julia. Really annoying :).

Instead, there is a package specifically for this called Scratch.jl: https://github.com/JuliaPackaging/Scratch.jl. That package gives you a folder where you can store things in and the package manager understands this so when the package hasn't been installed for a long time, it can clean that folder up (instead of it being left indefinitely on the harddrive).

We're not using it because we are Julia 1.0 compatible, but I'll add this to the list of reasons to not support 1.0 anymore :)
