[JeffBezanson]

This is partly due to type treason in WeakRefStrings, where it defines

Base.show(io::IO, ::Type{WeakRefString{T}}) where {T} = print(io, "WeakRefString{$T}")

On our side, we need to change how we dispatch (invalid) types with free variables to help avoid this.

[AzamatB]

bump, I was hit by something like this

[quinnj]

FWIW, the treasonous method has since been removed from WeakRefStrings.jl. @AzamatB, can you provide more details about your scenario? Did it involve loading DataFrames?

[KristofferC]

I think this was https://github.com/FluxML/Flux.jl/issues/629#issuecomment-539863845.

[AzamatB]

Yes, seems my issue is unrelated to this one.
