In case my approach is of use, for "non production" Emacs vers= ions or instances, I change the background color of the mode-line and set t= he color of 'internal-border. I set a "test flag" either on v= ersion or by command-line argument "--test". The mode-line color = shows fine in tty and GUI. I can't easily get confused that way.

I don't think I had a need for one, I do use 'M-x version' some= what
regularly: I tend to run pretest or an organic, locally sourced, fair
trade version(1) and sometimes I forget which one I am using.

The 'emacs-version' command inserts the version string at point wit= h
prefix argument. Maybe it can show this buffer with double prefix arg?
Or negative argument.



(1) which means, version I compile myself.
