Sure. However, see my other script to actually find the "closest version". 
It's pretty easy.

In fact, even if you don't know which file it is, we could easily first 
have a separate "try to guess filename" (based on the same kind of 
heurstics) and then dig deeper on that filename.

So I think there are better ways to get the same effect without embedding 
any information.
