I have the suspicion there are more corner cases that behave odd, but ive
no time ATM to test, ill do that tomorrow unless i forget

some sort of debug level message indicating the version may be usefull
if theres nothing showing it currently

at higher level i think it should only be shown if its worth it to the
user like for example if it overrides what was speified or somehow has
compatibility issues
