Comment (by karsten):

 iwakeh, maybe this is obvious, but I don‘t see it: what‘s the best way to
 access an implementation version string, that is generated during build
 time, at runtime? I guess we‘ll write it somewhere during the build
 process. But how do we learn about that when writing actual index.json
 files or query responses? I‘d want to avoid coming up with a hack here, so
 maybe there‘s a clean way to do it? Thanks!
