## Feature detection based on meson_version in project()
Meson will now print a `WARNING:` message during configuration if you use
a function or a keyword argument that was added in a meson version that's newer
than the version specified inside `project()`. For example:
```meson
project('featurenew', meson_version: '>=0.43')
cdata = configuration_data()
cdata.set('FOO', 'bar')
message(cdata.get_unquoted('FOO'))
```
This will output:
```
