Version 1.1

This version implements major changes in how parcel works on the output of @snoopi:

keyword-supplying methods are now looked up as Core.kwftype(f) rather than by the gensymmed name (var"#f##kw" or getfield(Base, Symbol("#kw##sum")))
On Julia 1.4+, SnoopCompile will write precompile directives for keyword-body functions (sometimes called the "implementation" function) that look them up by an algorithm that doesn't depend on the gensymmed name. For example,
```
let fbody = try __lookup_kwbody__(which(printstyled, (String,Vararg{String,N} where N,))) catch missing end
  if !ismissing(fbody)
      precompile(fbody, (Bool,Symbol,typeof(printstyled),String,Vararg{String,N} where N,))
  end
end
```
For files that have precompile statements for keyword-body functions, the __lookup_kwbody__ method is defined at the top of the file generated by SnoopCompile.write.

Function generators are looked up in a gensym-invariant manner with statements like

precompile(Tuple{typeof(which(FuncKinds.gen2,(Int64,Any,)).generator.gen),Any,Any,Any})

Anonymous functions and inner functions are looked up inside an isdefined check, to prevent errors when the precompile file is used on a different version of Julia with different gensym numbering.
