[External] What is the best way to determine the version of an `.rds`?
Can you add a wishlist item to bugzilla? Thanks, luke

Hi, I am writing a test that consults the serialization version of an `.rds` file. An attractive way to get this is: tools:::get_serialization_version() # reports just version which calls .Internal(serializeInfoFromConn() # reports much more but neither is truly exported for public use. Is there an official, exported way to get the serialization version? It is possible to get this information with R code yourself, but it doesn't feel very elegant. If not, could we have this? It's pretty easy these days to acquire a version 3 file, without real intent, which risks making the package require R >= 3.5. Thanks, Jenny [[alternative HTML version deleted]]
