You are perfectly right in that `#version 3.7` (which is shorthand for
`#version 3.70`, which in turn is interpreted as "this scene was
designed for version 3.7.0") will cause some 3.7.1-specific behaviour to
be disabled in order to maintain compatibility with the behaviour of 3.7.0.

However, most added features work perfectly fine even when the scene
says `#version 3.70`. (Which I concede isn't ideal, because it makes it
possible for people to write scenes that use 3.7.1 features but claim to
be "designed for version 3.7.0", leading to confusion if someone ever
tries to actually render such a scene with 3.7.0.)
