When recording changes in "HISTORY.txt" files, I used x.y.z.w numbers
but collapse them into a x.y.z number just before a release. People
using a pre-release would then get detailed numbers, while those
numbers wouldn't show up in a release.

I imagine that it could work the same way for `history` annotations,
although I'm not sure that collapsing the numbers is worthwhile.

Meanwhile, for packages other than "base", I have been using version
numbers that are more coarse. For example, "scribble-lib" is up to
version 1.1 (with 1.0 being the version in the v6.0 distribution), even
though I've adding things a few separate times.

Overall, I would say that `history` is helping me move in a good
direction on versioning, but I would not say that it's the final word
on a worked-out process.
