That will handle the name, but the version number in the version
control system might be important too. Possibly another generated
function my_original_version_number() could handle that, but it's not
easy to cover all VCSs...

Then again, the map() data might need to be saved somewhere too (and
version controlled).

There seem to be many small things that have to be put in place. If
there weren't had been, the whole issue would have been trivial :-)
