Comment:

 Discussed this with Liran Tal at Snyk and they use
 https://github.com/johnmichel/Library-Detector-for-Chrome which does not
 look at version strings in URL or comments, but uses jQuery's built in
 [.jquery]https://api.jquery.com/jquery-2/ to [retrieve the version string
 and then removes all non-digits except periods and the plus-
 sign]https://github.com/johnmichel/Library-Detector-for-
 Chrome/blob/b4f9a007addc19608a3864943aa735e8be6a6444/library/libraries.js#L215.

 Changing
 {{{
 m=1.12.4
 }}}

 into e.g.

 {{{
 m=1.12.4++
 }}}

 in the minified jQuery code itself works, as the added plusses make the
 version not match 1.12.4, but I have no idea what the consequences could
 be as who knows what plugins have JS that checks the jQuery version before
 doing stuff? :-/

 So this ''might'' become a wontfix I guess, unless someone sees a
 solution?
