+Reads the version from the Project.toml file at the given filename, at compile time.
+If no filename is given, defaults to `Base.current_project()`.
+Intended for use with the [`ArgParseSettings`](@ref) constructor,
+to keep the settings version in sync with the project version.

+ArgParseSettings(add_version = true, version = @project_version)
