Description

The current behavior is to download the most recent Julia version that fits in the compat bounds. I was wondering if it would be possible to specify a "recommended" Julia version instead?

Julia 1.11 is going to release soon and it introduces a lot of performance regressions: https://discourse.julialang.org/t/julia-1-11-beta-high-latency/112819/8 including incompatibility with LoopVectorization.jl, so I am looking to bound my package to 1.10.

However, if a user installs 1.11 themselves, I would still like for them to be able to use 1.11. i.e., I don't want to make 1.10 a hard constraint. For non-Julia users, I would like to install the best possible Julia version for my package.

What do you think @cjdoris?

Cheers,
Miles
