Why would that be a win over just calling FORMATTED-VERSION on demand?

I.e., we could just provide something like

(defgeneric FORMATTED-VERSION (C &optional version) (:method ((COMPONENT C) &optional version) (or version (component-version c)))

and then the programmer could extend this as needed.
