ForceImport.jl

Macro that force imports conflicting methods in Julia modules

Usage

Forces imports of exported methods from Module, even if there are conflicts.

@force using Module

If you are using this package, then the @force is strong in you and the Module!

Example

Allows using packages that export conflicting definitions of methods and imports them into the module.

module Foo
    export +
    +() = 7
end

module Bar
    using ForceImport
    @force using Foo
end

julia> Bar.:+()
7

Note that if the conflicting definition of the method is used before the import, then @force will not be effective.

julia> 1+1
2

julia> @force using Foo
WARNING: ignoring conflicting import of Foo.+ into Main

Hence the macro has to be called before the relevant methods have been called.
