The problem I see here is the plan to mix versioned and non-version
results from the same method when both are possible --maybe not for
Gems, but for a general solution it should. So what about two methods?
#datadir and #vdatadir. By default, i.e. no versions to speak of, they
would return the same thing. And with Gems, where there is _only_
versions, they would also return the same . But should it become
possible for Gems in the future, or for other's, they could be
differentiated.
