Unfortunately this is not a feature but a bug, and the worst kind, a bug at the language design level: Basically, Julia tries very hard to make composability work, even if the authors of the packages that you're composing don't know anything about each other. That's a critical feature that makes Julia as powerful as it is, but of course you can easily end up with situations where one or the other package is making implicit assumptions that are not documented (because the author didn't think the assumptions were important in the context of their own package) and you end up with correctness issues.
