I often need to check code with different versions. Example: I use \version "2.12.3" in the file and test compiling with different versions. Or test convert-ly with it etc. A script reading out the stated version would be of no help for me. But it might be very helpful for others. Not sure, but I think Frescobaldi has this too.
