What exactly is the usage of this?
My `tla-partner' script uses the file {arch}/+partner to describe a `partner
version', so you can say e.g. `tla-partner star-merge -t'. This is very
useful. But how would you use multiple versions? [I understand that there
may well be multiple partner versions that are interesting, I'm just not
sure how tools should deal with the presence of more than one.]

I'm not sure about this. When I made tla-partner, I considered both, and it
wasn't very clear to me which is `proper'. Probably having both is good.
