Trying to think how to do things with a #define so you can rename,
"version" is pretty darn generic to pre-process. You could make it a
union, so userspace code and use a sane name....
Yeah, I thought about suggesting the #define approach but figured that might
just be me worrying about the color of the paint ... okay, Richard, why don't
you go ahead and change the version field name and put in a #define for
compatibility.

No one uses this stuff, just change it.
Yes, but I feel like I need to at least ask the question; how much attention I
pay to the answers is something else ...
