There isn't one; I don't think we don't need one. - What's the official way to distinguish Emacs-21.3 from the current development versions (Emacs-21.3.50.X)? There isn't one, and perhaps it would be useful to have one. Perhaps if we implement emacs-version>= you could test for a version larger than 21.3. (This assumes that the third version number created by dumping does not count.)
