I'd like for this to be the default behavior for Racket.

One possible way: Insert a directory level between the `compiled` 
directory and its contents, with the directory named with the Racket 
version number with which the code is compiled.  Only that Racket 
version will run that compiled code.

(When I've been using Racket version A to run a code tree, and then use 
Racket version B with the same code tree, I don't mind waiting for a 
recompile of the code tree, and I'd really prefer it not disturb the 
code compiled with Racket version A.  I also don't mind cluttering disk 
space with compiled code for Racket versions that I no longer use; I can 
always make a script to clean those up.)
