in reply to v-strings deprecated; what to use instead?

1.002_03, IIRC.

On the other hand, v1.2.3 will still work, but it will create a "version object", not a v-string, which will stringify to (IIRC) 1.2.3, and numify to (IIRC) 1.00203.

You should test everything I'm saying, as I likely do not Recall Correctly.

    Oh yes, it works, but I'm getting the Use of v-strings is deprecated messages. It's those I want to avoid.
