Yeah, it's a thorny issue; and we should definitely have versioning on
lenses. It gets tricky though, since you might also need to version
library lenses, like inifile.aug.

In bug #99, there was some discussion of this, and I outlined a metadata
system for the lens language - would be great if somebody moved that
forward.
