+% In November 2019 I started wondering if we should bump the number, just for the
+% sake of showing that there's still some progress. So I decided to bump to 2.01.0
+% then. Just as a reminder for myself: it was the day when I watched Jacob Collier
+% perform \LUA\ (feat. MARO) live on YouTube (of course that is not about the
+% language at all, but still a nice coincidence). Just for the fun of it the number
+qbumped a few more times, just to catch up, so end 2019 we're at 2.03.5.
