/// - bslscm::Version: namespace for RCS and SCCS versioning information for `bsl`
///
/// # Description {#bslscm_version-description}
/// This component provides source control management (versioning)
/// information for the `bsl` package group.  In particular, this component
/// embeds RCS-style and SCCS-style version strings in binary executable files
/// that use one or more components from the `bsl` package group.  This version
/// information may be extracted from binary files using common UNIX utilities
/// (e.g., `ident` and `what`).  In addition, the `version` `static` member
/// function in the `bslscm::Version` `struct` can be used to query version
/// information for the `bsl` package group at runtime.  The following usage
/// examples illustrate these two basic capabilities.
///
/// Note that unless the `version` method will be called, it is not necessary to
/// `#include` this component header file to get `bsl` version information
/// embedded in an executable.  It is only necessary to use one or more `bsl`
/// components (and, hence, link in the `bsl` library).
///
/// ## Usage {#bslscm_version-usage}
///
///
/// A program can display the version of BSL that was used to build it by
/// printing the version string returned by `bslscm::Version::version()` to
/// `stdout` as follows:
/// @code
/// std::printf("BSL version: %s\n", bslscm::Version::version());
/// @endcode
