This fix needed for some machines.

Thanks. This can probably just be a VERSION comparison now since this was added prior to the commit that deprecated isgeneric. Something like

if VERSION >= v"0.5.0-dev+2396"
    _isgeneric(x) = true
else
    _isgeneric(x) = isgeneric(x)
end

should do the trick now.

(There's probably some more serious breakages in Julia 0.5-dev for Docile and Lexicon though, but since both are being deprecated in favour of https://github.com/MichaelHatherly/Documenter.jl fixing them hasn't been able to be high on the list of priorities currently.)

Actually this occurred with version 0.4.5. I do not know why.

Probably due to Base.find_source_file returning nothing when it can't find the file, which could happen with non-source builds maybe.

The version check is the right way to do this though and should work correctly everywhere.
