There was recently a discussion thread related to #version at:

http://news.povray.org/povray.general/thread/%3C5a7b670c%241%40news.povray.org%3E/

It got me wondering whether our documentation at:

http://wiki.povray.org/content/Reference:Scene_Parsing_Options#Language_Version

should be revised a bit?

work. Naturally the default setting for this option is the current 
version number.
...

2) The note at the end should perhaps itself end with:

...

POV-Ray 3.7 syntax, if you plan to use them in future versions of POV-Ray.
...

Aside: Our shipped .inc and .pov files as of the release/3.8 branch set 
one .inc at 3.1 and otherwise use a mix of 3.5 through 3.8.
