STINNER Victor added the comment:

Good idea to add a version. But it should not be a token, but a mandatory 
header at the beginning. For example, 16 unsigned bits at the beginning.

Many file formats use a "magic" key, like "MZ" for Windows executable or "GIF" 
for GIF pictures. What do you think of adding such magic string (if it does not 
exist yet, I don't know the marshal format... is it documented somewhere?).
