this is the same as #206 fyi

[palday]

Looking at the comments in #206, I saw that there were some thoughts on the impact of a non-const global. I think that issue existed even before now, but we can add a type-annotation to the global (all Julia versions which support extensions also support type annotations on globals), which will reduce some of the impact there.

are you going to merge and release a new version?

Thanks for the reminder: JuliaRegistries/General#98576

@stevengj Just FYI, looks like the the new release version got hung up and won't be released automatically.
