Conflict with ConstructionBaseIntervalSetsExt

[oschulz]

Is ConstructionBaseExtras still active, or has it been deprecated by the new ConstructionBase extensions?

I ran into this while running the Accessors tests (CC @aplavin ).

With the current versions of ConstructionBaseExtras and IntervalSets

pkg> st ConstructionBaseExtras IntervalSets
Status `/tmp/jl_UsXb5e/Project.toml`
  [914cd950] ConstructionBaseExtras v0.1.1
  [8197267c] IntervalSets v0.7.10

julia> import ConstructionBaseExtras, IntervalSets

since both ConstructionBaseIntervalSetsExt and ConstructionBaseExtras define

ConstructionBase.constructorof(::Type{<:Interval{L, R}}) where {L, R} = Interval{L, R}

Note that this warning doesn't affect any actual behavior.
Fixed on Accessors side by JuliaObjects/Accessors.jl#156 by only installing ConstructionBaseExtras on Julia 1.8-.

Thanks @aplavin !

There may still be a few packages around that are using ConstructionBaseExtras.jl, especially if you're not on the latest version of everything.

ConstructionBaseExtras.jl is definately deprecated, Ive just added a note to the readme making this explicit.
