I'm not sure that packages should export main() functions – that's going to
complicated things when a user wants to require CRC and define their own
main().
How about leaving it unexported and using julia -e "using PKG;
PKG.main(ARGS)"?

Just to follow-up on this. The simplest way to bundle a command line
utility with a package seems to be:
- use ArgeParse as normal and define a main(ARGS) function
- export the main() function from the package
- tell the user to call or alias julia -e "using PKG; main(ARGS)"
This works because
oh of course! yes, that would help. although it's still buried in some
weird direction under .julia (unless i use some kind of install script),
also i think something like
julia -e "using CRC; main(ARGS)"
might be a useful alternative, but i need to see if i can somehow ignore
the "-e".
I think you should be able to put:
#!/usr/bin/env julia
at the top of the file and chmod a+rx. Then you can symlink it to
/usr/local/bin, add the directory to PATH, etc.
