Surely that cure is far worse than the disease. You'd be trading a
might-break risk (app using new function will fail if used with old
library) for a guaranteed-to-break risk (*every* app fails if used
with *any* library version other than what it was built against).
The Unix version of the idea is considerably more flexible than
what would happen on Windows.
