This is a great feature that I'd love to see on the Explorer.  There is an
alternative (also supported by GNU emacs) that provides for version numbers
for less-than-the-newest version (this is more useful for LISPM folks, I
believe). 

The right place to do this support is in the pathname system, not in Zmacs.
That way all applications can take advantage of it.  Essentially, doing
this would provide a new host-pathname type of UNIX-with-Versions.  Since
systems on the Explorer already know how to use versions, everybody is
happy.  See GNU Emacs if you're curious about the syntax used.

Let us all know if somebody does this (or has done it).
