in thread parent::versioned supports minimum version specification in parent classes

Why not parent::minver? "versioned" doesn't say minimum version

Because that would rule out maximum version, specific version, list of versions, and version ranges. Overly specific is worse than overly terse.

    But it doesn't support those features now -- doubt it would ever?

    "version" versus "versioned"?

      I opened the door to them by crypto-requesting them just by writing it down. Ask davido if I didn’t. :P Why limit oneself? Why start painting at the doorway instead of the corner? “Versioned” is less semantically ambiguous than “version.”
