Maybe we could have a 'this_is_version".
So then we can say:
use this_is_version "v1.2.3";
and not have to do all that formulaic stuff. IOW, this would be equivalent to:
use vars /$VERSION/;
use version 1.00; # or whatever is appropriate
version->declare("v1.23");
Oh, i see, EUMM. Oops.
There is something disturbing around the fact that we are hacking
around a one line code parser here.
Well, whatever,
