This gets really messy, especially if you also want to mention
extensions and changes done in a later version. And worse when
including bug fixes.
You can find the information in the version*.txt help files.
E.g. with ":help version7" you can see that all the List and Dictionary
stuff has been added in Vim 7.0. So instead of adding a remark "since
Vim 7.0" to every command, function, variable, etc. that uses a List
there is only this remark. It's a bit more work to figure out when
something got added, but it avoids a lot of mess scattered in the help
files. Some people may already find the {not in Vi} comments annoying.
