Given that Cthulhu is the only user of TypedSyntax currently, and considering the newer versions of Cthulhu no longer supports older Julia versions like 1.6, I believe there isn't much merit in maintaining support for older Julia versions within TypedSyntax. We anticipate the need for fixes to TypedSyntax's reflection capabilities, like #547, however, continuing to provide support for these features across older versions proves to be a significant hassle. Therefore, I'm inclined to match TypedSyntax.jl's supported Julia version with that of Cthulhu.
Additionally, we've found that if Cthulhu's tests fail, TypedSyntax.jl's tests don't get executed, leading to unnoticed regressions in the latter. So I've opted to separate and individually run the tests for both Cthulhu and TypedSyntax.
