While packageVersion(Rcpp) exports the version registers in
DESCRIPTION, this version does get incremented more easily
during development and can therefore be higher than the released
version. The actual #define long used at the C++ level
corresponds more to an ‘API Version’ which is now provided
by this function, and use for example in the package skeleton
generator.
