Question is though, how many of these places will DTRT with the
stringified version? If a version object breaks the code most of
the time and a stringified version DTWT some of the time, all you
can do is pick your kind of breakage, and frankly I’d prefer the
bigger and more reproducible breakage in that case. The real
solution in that case is to fix the code that can’t handle
getting a version object.
