Comment(by AntoineLatter):

 Maybe I'm miss-understanding, but this feature already exists exactly as
 you've described.

 Paths_$pkgname.version :: Version

 is exported by default.

 I'm not sure in which version it was introduced, and the user guide makes
 no mention of the feature.

 Here's the code in 1.10:

 /Distribution-Simple-Build-PathsModule.html
