I keep getting this pull request from CompatHelper:
> This pull request changes the compat entry for the `XLSX` package from `0.10.1` to `0.10.1, 0.10`.
The current compat is listed as `XLSX = "0.10.1"` which seems correct according to the Pkg documentation:
> ```julia
> [compat]
> Example = "0.2.1"
>
> ```
>
> results in a versionbound on Example as `[0.2.1, 0.3.0)`.
It seems like this is a [known bug](https://github.com/JuliaRegistries/CompatHelper.jl/issues/266) that has been open for almost 3 years, so imagine others have dealt with this before.
I keep closing this pull request without merging, but it always reappears as a new PR the next day. What should I do to avoid the bad PRs while I wait for the bug fix?

Hmmm. Why is your compat entry `XLSX = "0.10.1"`? The General registry says the latest registered version of XLSX is 0.10.0: [https://github.com/JuliaRegistries/General/blob/master/X/XLSX/Versions.toml](https://github.com/JuliaRegistries/General/blob/master/X/XLSX/Versions.toml)

Oh, I just had an XLSX PR merged that I need, so I have `XLSX#master` loaded in my environment which comes in as `0.10.1`. That PR should be released in 0.10.1, so that is the compatibility I need going forward. I didn’t think about the interaction with the general registry though; I just thought it should know that 0.10 is less than 0.10.1.
