What is the safest future-compatible way to check for an incompatible /

My idea was to run status with depth=empty on the workingcopy root, and
check for SVN_ERR_WC_UNSUPPORTED_FORMAT error code.
Is there a function specifically designed for this purpose?
No. The current library functions are forward compatible for the
entire 1.x range. The working copy storage is considered to be an
internal artifact, meaning you're supposed to use the libraries (e.g.
through the python bindings) to access the working copy data.
Doesn't that assume that there is only one version of the library that can
access a working copy location or at least that the versions only go forward
over time? There are a large number of ways that assumption can be wrong.
