That would be $v->normal, but that isn't the problem.  The problem is 
that M::B doesn't want to carry around the version object as an object, 
and so has to convert into something non-magical.

If Ken and/or Randy want to tell me whether they want to hold 0.28 for 
the fully debugged and thought out version object support, I will do 
what I can to get that working.

*FULL DISCLOSURE* - My wife is out of town on a medical emergency and I 
have kid duty by myself for now, so it is all I can do to crawl into bed 
after reading to the kids (5 and 10).  I don't know how long it will 
take me to produce a working patch that everyone will be happy with...
