As the languages evolve and/or exporter defects are fixed, we may end up in situations where we want to revise the schema used for monikers. LSIF exporters can trivially achieve that by appending a version number to Moniker.scheme value.
Changing the moniker schema would render old LSIF dumps incompatible (unlinkable) with newer LSIF dumps though.
Should then the moniker schema version be a high level concept that is advertised in LSIF metadata so tools can detect mismatches more effectively?
(Note that #10 discussed similar but actually different question about embedding the source code package version in the moniker.)
