They are internal functions. Perhaps we should say that explicitly in
the doc strings.
The doc strings that should be reviewed are those for version<,
version=, and version<=. They are the ``entry points'' to this group
of functions. The rest are internal subroutines.

What description is needed, given that you can see the value?
