test Julia nightly on every PR

I think just testing on Linux x64 is probably enough.

Is this going to send us a Slack notification every time the Julia Nightly version fails (when we run CI each night)? We don't want that!

[nickrobinson251]

given we have

  slack:
    name: Notify Slack Failure
    needs: test
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest

i wonder if we change the Julia Nightly versions to not run on ubuntu-latest (but instead macOS-latest), this means it'd be excluded from notifications?

IDK how GHA works well enough to know. (Maybe @fchorney can advise? Or maybe @oxinabox understand GHA a little better than me?)

Ah, I see, sorry about that! Yes, if that is undesired, I can make it a separate workflow.

IIUC ubuntu-latest is just the platform the Slack job itself is running on, but it will actually catch all failures on any platform.

Yeah, since Julia Nightly is unfortunately broken quite regularly (for reasons unrelated to code in this package), we don't want to be notified of failures as that adds too much noise :)

Ahh, that makes sense!

that'd be great --- thank you!
