I've thought about this before and I think it has a lot of 
potential (back when we were first looking at dub, this was my 
preferred version scheme and everyone shot it down :( )

I believe if the new version just public imported the old version 
and then you add new/breaking functionality there, you could 
bring it all together with minimal duplication and maximum help 
from the compiler in making it work, including using two 
incompatible versions simultaneously because they'd have 
different mangles from different module names.

I'd like to see us try to play with it.
