maybe add "on 0.5 and earlier"?

Since Compat now requires julia 0.4, I feel (but not very strongly) that specifying this is redundant.

Ok, I have integrated @TotalVerb's suggestion.

The reason for this is that some features are available only on 0.5, and not on 0.4 (see a good chunk of the broadcast stuff), so we should be clear that this works on both.

I think that the default should be that every Compat feature is supported on every Julia version indicated by the REQUIRES file (i.e. v0.4+ currently). A note should only be necessary when a given feature is not supported in 0.4.

Originally I had this method in my own package FortranFiles.jl (which also supports julia 0.5), but because this defines a Base method for a Base datatype, @tkelman suggested it might go into Base, and if accepted there, also into Compat.
