Update version in a module ?

[gregberge]

I think a good feature would be to add the possibility to update a version in a module, may be with a regular expression. An example :

In Backbone, https://github.com/documentcloud/backbone/blob/master/backbone.js :

mversion --file backbone.js --var Backbone.version

I'll have to think about this one. It might get too complicated to get this generic enough to account for all use cases. E.g. in Backbone, you also have version number in comment.

Sorry for taking so long to answer. I think there are no ways of making this generic enough to work in all cases.
I think the best way might be to use a build script to and access the the version number from package.json/component.json.

Please feel free to re-open, if you think of anything.
