Yes... now compare that with python or java, where neither source or compiled code includes any version information. Perhaps we are using the wrong term when talking about 'binary compatibility'... perhaps we should be using the term 'machine version dependency resolution'... c shared libraries and CIL can do it, afaik no other system can. Imo this is a big fault that needs to be fixed.
