=head1 DESCRIPTION

DiaColloDB::Compat is a top-level convenience package for
limited (read-only) backwards-compatible access to outdated
DiaColloDB data structures and file formats.
By convention, individual compatibility wrappers for a DiaColloDB release
with version E<lt>= C<X.Y.Z> reside in the namespace
C<DiaColloDB::Compat::vX_Y_Z>, where the C<"_Z"> suffix is omitted if it
consists only of zeroes.
