in thread RFC: Version::Easy

There's already a built-in version syntax from Perl 5.14 onwards.

package Foo::Bar 1.23;
...;

# or

package Foo::Bar 1.23 {
   ...;
}

And the PAUSE indexer, etc supports it. It's only a problem if you need to support Perl versions earlier than 5.14.

    package Foo::Bar 1.23;

    from package

    so apparently I've just implemented the same semantic for older versions
