Under some recent Mac OS, wasn't there supposed to be file-versioning feature (such as "file.doc;2", etc.) ?

I seem to recall reading, that, under some recent Mac OS, there was supposed to be file-versioning feature (such as "file.doc;1", "file.doc;2", etc.), but I can't seem to notice it under Mavericks v10.9.4 . Did I mis-read this ?

(Then, again, I skipped-over Mountain Lion, having moved from Lion v10.7.5 to Mavericks v10.9.3 (and then to Mavericks 10.9.4 ) ) .

MacBook Pro, OS X Mavericks (10.9.4), ;6GB RAM; iPod Nano(5th gen.)

Versions, if supported by the app, is mostly invisible to the user. You don't see the versions unless you ask to see them. They are maintained automatically.

Here is the article describing the feature as introduced in Lion (it is mostly the same in Mavericks): OS X Lion: About Auto Save and Versions
