Yep, that's the right solution when you feel it's ok to go beyond normal
spaceparts for this. Sole exception: the d.cursor family. It should be
simply excluded from this mechanism. Past versions can then be reached
on dimensions version:d.cursor-xxx. -- For the other dimensions,
connections to past cells (i.e., version:n.foo cells) would be
forbidden. That makes perfect sense.

(For pull-outs of old cell clusters in the newest space version, the old
versions of d.cursor must be used. But that's the least problem with them.)
