== Description

Construct an integer (unique to the specified `BAL_VERSION_MAJOR` and `BAL_VERSION_MINOR` numbers) corresponding to the major and minor version numbers, respectively, of the current (latest) BAL release. Note that the patch version number is intentionally not included. The exact format of the result is an implementation detail of `bslscm_versiontag`. The major and minor parts of the resulting version can be extracted with `BSL_GET_VERSION_MAJOR` and `BSL_GET_VERSION_MINOR` respectively.
