  │ Warning

  │  The following bindings may be internal; they may change or

  TwicePrecision{T}(hi::T, lo::T)
  TwicePrecision{T}((num, denom))

  A number with twice the precision of T, e.g., quad-precision if T =
  Float64.

  │ Warning

  │  TwicePrecision is an internal type used to increase the

  │  fields of a range. Use the function interface instead,
  │  step(r) rather than r.step

Can you explain when this implementation can be breaking? It is required to convert the type parameters of StepRangeLen.

At any, even minor, release of Julia. At any commit in Julia, really. Technically you're supposed to pin specific Julia versions in your Project.toml if you must trespass on the internals.

[putianyi889]

I'm not gonna update Project.toml on every Julia update. However it could be possible to trigger GitHub Actions to do the tests on Julia update. I'll leave this issue open until I (or someone) figure out how to do that.
