Compatibility about primes.jl HOT 4 CLOSED

You could wrap the definitions for the removed functions in a

if VERSION < v"0.5-"
...
end

block.

Ultimately, the only sane thing to do in Combinatorics.jl was to simply maintain separate branches for 0.4 and 0.5, since it became really messy to deal with other breaking changes like how collect() worked in the tests.

Thanks, good to know. In that case, I might register it as-is, so that we can remove it from Base, and then we can make the above change.

The other option is to add a Compat entry, so that @compat using Primes would be a no-op in 0.4-.
