name field of TypeName is const on 1.8

[KristofferC]

Just a heads up of a change in the internals in Julia for 1.8 that causes a breakage of this package:

valid: Error During Test at /home/pkgeval/.julia/packages/RedefStructs/JMYNd/test/runtests.jl:7
  Test threw exception
  Expression: begin
    #= /home/pkgeval/.julia/packages/RedefStructs/JMYNd/test/runtests.jl:7 =# @redef struct S
        end
    true
end
  setfield!: const field .name of type TypeName cannot be changed
  Stacktrace:

Thanks a lot! It's been a while since I played with this package and I don't remember all the details so I'll have to take a closer look as soon as I find the time.

At a glance, I would say that if the fields of Core.TypeName are now constant (at least .name) then this package deserves to be thrown in the garbage bin. I'll see whether I manage to circumvent the new limitation or at least salvage something useful out of it.
