What I propose is to add a pointer "maextra" (same 64bits), which will be set to NULL for most dict instances (instead of maversion). "maextra" can then point to a struct that has a globally unique dict ID (uint64), and a version tag (unit64).

Why not just use a single global counter for allocating dict version tags, instead of one per dict?
