[bug#53656] [PATCH 0/2] 2 Julia packages

[zimoun]

Hi Efraim,

Both patches look good to me.


I notice this warning:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
┌ Warning: Package OptimTestProblems does not have LinearAlgebra in its 
dependencies:
│ - If you have OptimTestProblems checked out for development and have
│   added LinearAlgebra as a dependency but haven't updated your primary
│   environment's manifest file, try `Pkg.resolve()`.
│ - Otherwise you may need to report an issue with OptimTestProblems
└ Loading LinearAlgebra into OptimTestProblems from project dependency, future 
warnings for OptimTestProblems are suppressed.
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

and...

...I am thinking loudly if this gexp is required.  There are other many
similar patter without a gexp.  Therefore, for consistency with the
rest, I would be in favor to switch to regular modification of phases.
Or let me know if this is becoming the new patter and I would adapt for
the others.
