I think you are referring to the [PR](https://github.com/JuliaLang/julia/pull/30843) that implements the [new scope solution](https://discourse.julialang.org/t/new-scope-solution/16707) discussed here.

If you build julia with the linked branch, this fragment should work. However, the clamor about the 1.0 global scope mostly died down and the PR did not get merged, so your fragment is not expected to work on master.
