Hi, all. I use PkgTemplate to create a local package. When I `using` my package, the error shows up:  
`Error: Error during loading of extension FillArraysStatisticsExt of FillArrays, use `Base.retry_load_extensions()` to retry.`  
And after I run `Base.retry_load_extensions()`, I can import my package. I am confused about what is the meaning of `Base.retry_load_extensions()` ?

Your first import did partially work, but something went wrong with loading that extension triggered by loading `FillArrays` and `Statistics`. `Base.retry_load_extensions()` just tried loading triggered extensions again. Of course, that shouldn’t happen, and you aren’t expected to manually load extensions like this. I don’t run into this problem in the REPL either.

Is this problem repeatable across new sessions? Does your package evaluate something into the `FillArrays` or `Statistics` modules?
