   * Core API compatibility.

   * This constant is set to '8.x' to provide legacy compatibility with

   * extensions that use the '8.x-' prefix to denote Drupal core major version

   * compatibility, for example '8.x-1.0'. These extensions can specify

   * compatibility with multiple major versions of Drupal core by setting the

   * version constraint in 'core_version_requirement'. Drupal does not support

   * using this core major version number prefix with versions greater than 8.

   * For example '9.x-' prefixed extensions are not supported.
