+## 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 ...
