🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

okay so the SDL::Version structure is what the SDL::linked_version function and the SDL::version macro are out here using. 💖

The SDL::linked_version function returns the link-time SDL version, whereas SDL::version returns the compile-time SDL version. two different girls, two different vibes, same struct.

⚠️ note note note: this is the SDL version, not the SDL_Perl version!! do not confuse them or it's giving embarrassing 😭 the SDL_Perl version lives in $SDL::VERSION. periodt.
