i'd vote for 'tilde', since this has a very open meaning. 

i forgot to mention, my and syntax' abstractions use a version tag of
the format:

[version x.x.x( (where x can be any integer number)

this is used in netpd, though i am not sure if it makes sense to have it
as a standard. if you think, that it makes sense to have a version tag
at all, it'd be cool, if we could define it that way to define a
version.

where can i get info about [pd META] ?
