Issue:Version Reporting

Description:	It is hard for users of a Wiki using DPL to find the version of DPL being run by the Wiki.
Extension / Version:	DPL / All
Type / Status:	Change Request / open

Suggestion

It would be nice if future versions reported the version through a simple query.

Example:

<DPL>
reportversion=yes
</DPL>

As a suggested implementation, any query including this flag would report the DPL version being used on first line of the results.

If this functionality already exists, I could not find it in the DPL Manual.

I think a %VERSION% pseudo-variable would be a more flexible solution. You could use it within the resultsheader for example.

This is DPL version 3.2.1.
