Proposal: Turn SOME_STRUCTURE_init into a macro that calls
SOME_STRUCTURE_init_internal with the same arguments plus an
additional one that contains the version number. The implementation
is like what SOME_STRUCTURE_init does now, but additionally checks
whether this additional argument matches the current version number;
if not, it pokes fun at the user for trying to mix incompatible
library versions. There is no need to disturb programs that are only
meant to be used with statically linked libraries.
