That's not actually what that reference says.  That header is called
<version>, not <version.h>.

And frankly, I cannot believe any tool vendor nor standardization body
would be so daft as to assume that <version.h> is a suitable name for a
new standard header.  There must be roughly several million pre-existing
user header files by that name out there that this would trample on.
