Further clarify relation to SnoopPrecompile #10

Closed rikhuijzer closed 1 year ago

I was already wondering why the switch from SnoopPrecompile was necessary. This PR copies the explanation from https://github.com/roflmaostc/DeconvOptim.jl/pull/41.

Won't this be odd six months from now when no one is using SnoopPrecompile anymore?

I was also thinking about that, indeed. Maybe people will forget, but on the other hand, maybe people will also end up at SnoopPrecompile via GitHub search and such. Then, not knowing the history could be very confusing.

In 1955c8c, I've tried to make the sentences a bit more future-proof.

Seems OK. I guess we can also delete it in a couple of years (maybe just linking to the discourse post).
