v0.8.0

What's Changed

• Support dispatches on Number via union type by @MilesCranmer and @gaurav-arya in #49
  • This splits Quantity into two types: Quantity <: AbstractQuantity <: Number and GenericQuantity <: AbstractGenericQuantity <: Any.
  • This will help a lot with downstream integration as now Quantity <: Number (just like Unitful).
  • Methods are now defined on Union{AbstractQuantity,AbstractGenericQuantity}, which let's us both have multiple abstract types dispatched on different supertypes, and also only writing a single method for all abstract types in our library!
    • Note there are exceptions due to ambiguous methods, and at some points in the code we loop over the abstract types with an @eval
  • (It's essentially like a way of manually doing multiple inheritance)
• Reduce the number of method invalidations by @MilesCranmer in #71
• Create constructorof, with_type_parameters, dimension_names by @MilesCranmer and @devmotion in #72
  • Helps us clean up the typing throughout the library. Should be more robust to new behavior in downstream user-defined AbstractDimensions
