This *is* the version check (or rather: feature check).

All the wrappers for transparency follow later. The problem is that
all wrappers assume that transparency is not supported based on the
result of this wrong check, and thus transparency is never used at
all.

New AquaTerm provides an instance method, but the line checks if a
class method exists. The result is thus "false" in both versions.
