Why no to do the similar thing as C++ std does? The working name 
of the next version is std2x, then as soon as it's stabilized, 
it's renamed to std2023. The following version might be std2y -> 
std2027, for example. We can use "a", "b", "c" etc. to ensure 
that we don't run out of letters within the decade.
