remove version parameter from descrip()?

[taylorokonek]

Currently if you specify version = TRUE in descrip(), the function will return "20160730" and nothing else. I'd imagine we either want to to return a date that's a bit closer to today, or just remove this parameter entirely. Personally, I'm in favor of removing it entirely. Any objections or other thoughts?

I'm also in favor of removing it entirely (and removing the parameter across the package, because it exists in multiple functions).

Something we could consider is adding a print message when the package gets loaded that says something about the version and/or the package creation date. For example of just printing the version and package title, see here; for example of including the date as well, see here. Personally, I don't like the "package created on X date" message as much but could see it being nice if we have to change the package mid-quarter?
