   BTW, which :version should be added to variables that have been there

I had the same problem when I converted `query-replace-interactive', a
ten year old variable, to a defcustom.  I decided not to add a 
`:version "21.4"' and sent a message to emacs-devel saying that I had
not done so and asking whether that was OK.  Nobody complained.

Sincerely,

Luc.
