When I originally pointed out the internal version number, I neglected
to mention that it's always a simple real number with a single dot for
ease of comparison. As such, 5.11+0.4 is just as valid an
interpretation of 5.110004 as 5.11.0004 or 5.11.0.4, and arguably
saner. (For comparison, 5.10.6 becomes 5.1006.)
