In my last mail, I sent some code that would do this.

But I think this is a *bad* idea.  I think code that is written for both
version 2.10 and version 2.12 will be virtually unmaintainable.  What
happens when we get to version 2.14 in a few months?

I think you should pick a version and write for it.  And then, if you want
to change versions, you should use convert-ly.

HTH,
