Comment:

 Calling `filemtime()` multiple times on each pageload isn't an option, nor
 can you rely upon it being a cascading timestamp update (not all
 filesystems do).

 IMHO it's up to the plugin or theme to specify the version parameter here
 for cache-busting. The main issue is performance - not just of how to get
 the data, but determining that a resource is being enqueued by a specific
 plugin or theme.

 If you run into a problem caused by this, tell the plugin or theme author
 that they should bump the cache busters on their enqueued resources during
 updates - that's what the parameter is for.
