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,
