	<DD>The <CODE>version</CODE> test may be used to perform comparisons against
	specific Readline versions.
	The <CODE>version</CODE> expands to the current Readline version.
	The set of comparison operators includes
	<SAMP>`='</SAMP> (and <SAMP>`=='</SAMP>), <SAMP>`!='</SAMP>, <SAMP>`<='</SAMP>, <SAMP>`>='</SAMP>, <SAMP>`<'</SAMP>,
	and <SAMP>`>'</SAMP>.
	The version number supplied on the right side of the operator consists
	of a major version number, an optional decimal point, and an optional
	minor version (e.g., <SAMP>`7.1'</SAMP>). If the minor version is omitted, it
	is assumed to be <SAMP>`0'</SAMP>.
	The operator may be separated from the string <CODE>version</CODE> and
	from the version number argument by whitespace.
	The following example sets a variable if the Readline version being used
	is 7.0 or newer:
