Totally wrong. `use v6` specified Raku (formerly Perl6) code and initially 
thought to be used to distinct perl5 code from perl6. For now I consider it 
mostly as a decoration except for test files where .t extension is shared 
between languages. 

With regard to multiversioning, rakudo currently supports all language releases 
available so far. So, if one specifies a particular language version like `use 
v6.c` it means that the code in the file will be compiled using 6.c. It will be 
done by the same compiler and it has nothing to do with 'multiple versions 
installed'.

Best regards,
