enh(versioning): setup a major minor macro #90
Description
..or even a major minor patch version macro. The reasoning is simple, better integration. The current design of having no version for a header only library AFAIK is not a good practice at all. The argument that downstream users shouldn't have to update also doesn't really hold water, generally libraries get updated when there's a major version bump.. plus Hyrum's law
Some other libraries with versioned headers:
- Boost
- json.hpp
- fmt
These are mostly all C++ ones, but then there's also:
and a slew of them, these are OTOH, and build systems with a simple .in file should make setting this painless.
