 * Is there any reason why a plugin’s version number would not always be the same
   as the version of wordpress it was tested up to? The version numbers mean nothing
   to most users. The only number that really means anything to them is which version
   of wordpress the plugin has been tested up to. So why not just make that the 
   version number for the plugin? But this would mean the first version of my newest
   plugin would be 3.3.1. There would never be a version 1 or 2. Is there any wordpress
   convention that says plugin developers are not supposed to version their plugins
   in that way? I couldn’t find anything about this in the documentation.
