Assign to the specified `version` the one‐byte, two's complement unsigned integer comprised of the one byte of this stream at the current cursor location, update the cursor location, and return a reference to this stream. If this stream is initially invalid, this operation has no effect. If this function otherwise fails to extract a valid value, this stream is marked invalid and the value of `version` is undefined. Note that the value will be zero‐extended.
