If we really want to go with semver, it might be good to get ABI
checkers to check MRs:
https://lvc.github.io/abi-compliance-checker/
I suspect we'll be bumping major versions every release though unless
we're really diligent about it.
Though the ABI is also affected by all the flags you can set in VTK's
build, so there are other issues since we can't just rely on "it looks
OK", but "it looks OK under configuration X".
