+##
+## PURPOSE/BACKGROUND: A package like this, `latexfileversion' or
+## `ltxfileinfo' when you wonder which version of a source file
+## (package, document component) is available in some directory --
+## I typically test package changes by symbolic links in single
+## project directories before installing them globally, and then
+## sometimes don't remember ... when I get an "undefined" error,
+## I wonder whether I have installed the symbolic link or whether
+## I just forgot to define this, or whether I lost the most recent
+## version ...
