We already have v:version

Why not just add a simple v:patchlevel which contains the last patch 
included?

I am not sure if we actually need this, considering that there exist Vim 
version, that leave out just a single patch in between, so even when 
checking for the existence of 8.1.1152, that does not mean that the Vim 
used does support all the features that have been added in the previous 
1151 patches.

I think a better way is to check for the existence of the feature to be 
used using has()/exists(), etc.

Best,
Christian
