+1 on version bump since the API is changing. (ignoring "typos", above)

As an aside, I sort of wish that could be optionally added to package
for some future perl and have "our $VERSION" be hidden away.
package Foo::Bar 1.00;
Yes would need toolchain parsing updates, but heck, we've done that
before, plus we'll have configure_requires on our side this time.

<cringe>
Yes, that "works" but I think it's horrible for readability. I would
think anyone writing "use version X" will know what it means.
