zsh has a syntax which allows me to use a conditional on the version,
e.g.

if is-at-least 4.3.5; then
do this
fi

Maybe openssh-client could get that too?& I do prefer the "duck typing"
approach of checking for options directly, but I also see the security
problems. So instead, assuming an option appeared in 4.3, why not let
the user say so

bugzilla cropped my comment. It ended with

IfVersionAtLeast 4.3
NewOption yes
EndIf

That is all. :)
