 Whenever we update one of our dev CSS or JS files, we have to use YUI to
 re-minify them, and bump their version number in script-loader.php. The
 YUI part can be done programmatically, but it's not quite possible to bump
 the script-loader.php version numbers without manual intervention. If the
 number strings (yyyymmdd{optional-abcd suffix}) were marked up with PHP
 comments in a standardized way, we could automate that step as well.

 Since any script would have the file name in hand, I propose the
 following:

 {{{/*#wp-admin/css/wp-admin.dev.css#wp-
 includes/css/fake.dev.css*/'20110203b'}}}

 That is, a PHP comment block that immediately starts with a hash (#) and
 is followed by one or more dev URLs that the version number applies to
 (multiple ones separated by another hash), and immediately followed by a
 version string enclosed in single quotes, in the format:

 {{{/'([0-9]{4})([0-9]{2})([0-9]{2})([a-z]?)'/}}}
