Conversation
By default, the Go generator (like the C generator) will generate symbols which include the WIT package version in the name only if the target world references more than one version of that package. However, that makes publishing bindings in a library hazardous, because the name of that symbol will change if the world is updated to reference a second version of the package. This new option allows the user to override the default and include the versions in names unconditionally.
