+    # methods) whenever this project was started and/or documented.

+    #
+    # If a 'low' version is present, you should know that attempts to use
+    # versions of the package significantly older than the 'low' version
+    # may not yield happy results.  (A "hard" high limit may or may not be
+    # indicated by a true version requirement.)
+    #
+    # Similarly, if a 'high' version is present, and especially if this
+    # project has laid dormant for a while, you may need to refactor a bit
+    # when attempting to support a more recent version of the package.  (A
+    # "hard" low limit should be indicated by a true version requirement
+    # when a 'high' version is present.)
