value="This value set is part of the cross-version definitions generated to enable use of the
value set `http://hl7.org/fhir/ValueSet/variable-handling|4.3.0` as defined in FHIR R4B
in FHIR STU3.
The source value set is bound to the following FHIR R4B elements:
* `Evidence.statistic.modelCharacteristic.variable.handling`
* `EvidenceVariable.handling`
Note that all concepts are included in this cross-version definition because no concepts have compatible representations
Following are the generation technical comments:
