      Many compilers (such as gcc) have a command-line flag (e.g. "-v") which prints a short string representing the version of the compiler and/or the language.
      for example:

      gcc -v
      Reading specs from /usr/local/lib/gcc-lib/i386-portbld-freebsd4.2/2.95.3/specs
      gcc version 2.95.3 20010315 (release)

      While the virtual machine does have this feature, the compiler does not.
