Specify Heroku addon version in app.json

Question

When using heroku addons:create, one may specify a version, e.g. as shown in this Heroku blog post introducing Postgres 9.5:

heroku addons:create heroku-postgresql --version=9.5

I asked support and they said "we don't have a way to configure addon flags for review apps yet" — nicholaides, Apr 12 '16 at 02:38
@nicholaides this appears to have been implemented now, see accepted answer. — davetapley, Jul 20 '16 at 16:09
I actually have the inverse question: I'm trying to do the short-and-sweet `"addons": ["heroku-postgresql"]` or even `"addons": [{"plan": "heroku-postgresql"}]` without pinning any specific version, and it's not working! — Quuxplusone, Jan 23 '17 at 06:20

{
  "addons": [
    {
      "plan": "heroku-postgresql",
      "options": {
        "version": "9.5"
      }
    }
  ]
}

Yey! Looks like it was added sometime between now and [back in May](https://web.archive.org/web/20160508102505/https://devcenter.heroku.com/articles/app-json-schema#addons) :) – davetapley Jul 20 '16 at 16:08
