How about we go one step further and do something like (pseudo code)

struct VersionInfo { std::vector author, version; }

virtual Restraint::get_version_info { return VersionInfo("IMP core developers", "SVN"); }

That way 1) a module can define a static VersionInfo somewhere (or a get_version_info() function) and all restraints etc. can return the same thing and 2) we reduce the number of virtual methods by one.
