I’ve got an interesting problem with one of my `dev`’ed packages after upgrading to julia 1.2 (compiled from source).

In the REPL, after `using MyPackage` I now always get a Recompile stale cache file,  
and after the second `julia>` command prompt appears, I’m unable to type any text for about 30 seconds (it just hangs, afterwards the text magically appears).

Things I’ve tried:

- clear startup.jl (thought that maybe Revise is causing some issues, not the case)
- do a `Pkg.resolve` in the v1.2 and MyPackage environment
- test it with another `dev`’ed package (works fine).

So basically I’ve tried nothing and I’m all out of ideas. Does anyone have a clue what might be causing this?

I just fixed it. For future reference, the problem was connected to the `VegaLite` package. After removing that dependency, the issues went away.

Apparently nobody else got that problem with VegaLite, so I guess there was just something weird in my code.
