For the same reason, adding the code that would be in a package directly into Base via some ststicint.jl file to prevent invalidation is not going to solve the situation, and will, at best, just be a bandaid for one specific usecase. Personally I don’t think that’s a good idea, and the reason can be seen in this very thread: what about floating points values? And then the next “what about” and so on and so on.
