The functionality I wanted this for is pretty much done -- it all works nicely, thank you! Now I need to shield some stuff from users who don't aren't using the git version of BBDB. Is there a best practice in this case? The options I can think of are: 1. check if the new function `bbdb-record-xfield-string' is bound, since that's new here 2. check if `bbdb-version-date' is after May 6, 2014. I'm leaning towards the date check, since that will give finer control if some bugs are discovered and fixed later.
