Drop Julia 1.0?

[mcabbott]

Since LTS is now 1.6, can this package move on from supporting 1.0? It's a pain to figure out what's broken there, always something.

Yes, let's do it.
We can always backport things if we need to.

Specifically, are we suggesting updating the lower bound to 1.6, or a lower Julia version?

If 1.2 or later, it would be nice to also adopt test/Project.toml.

1.6

I would rather not.
I have worked on a few packages that use it, and i find them frustrating.
Because information gets duplicated and then out of sync between the main deps and the test deps.

We can think about that at a future time

ChainRulesCore.jl could similarly drop 1.0. The only incentive there is that it can drop Compat.jl and have zero deps. Some inference/alloc tests could be tidied. But maybe no rush.
