I think it all comes down to supporting version constraints in library references. Without special version components in library names, it's not possible (reasonably) to have a library reference support specifying a set of acceptable versions. To support a special version component, and to support files for multiple versions of a library coexisting in the same directory, and to support one-to-one mapping file names to library names, library file names need the special version component in them. > > I think putting any part of the version in the last symbol (or any > > symbol) is going against the purpose of compound library names. > > I disagree.
