I don't think it would be hard to implement boolean logic inside
version.
It's not hard at all.
Would it make sense if I make a pull request for it?
Walter would reject it.
He has stated clearly in the past that he intended version to be
simple and minimal, and that adding anything onto it will only result in
abuses.
What kind of abuses?
Just have a look at reasonably portable C libraries that use the C
preprocessor for versioning. IIRC Walter pointed to the Hans-Boehm GC
the last time this issue was brought up.
I don't understand that logic in a language that
allows you to use pointers, alloc memory however you want, and get
segfaults for null memory access.
Sorry, but this does not make any sense.
