This might be a good time to introduce an optional "sugar_version=..." field into activity.info, so we can display a human readable error message when this mistake happens. The activity will not launch unless Sugar's version is greater than or equal to the activity.info field. Most activities will not need it, but in case of using non-backwards compatible APIs it will be handy. Is this too big a change to patch 0.84 and 0.86 with? It will take at least two releases before it can have any real benefit.
