#5994: singular.version() yields an error when first called, has no doctest, and
has a strange output imo

Replying to [comment:3 SimonKing]:
> I could verify that on the server in Oberwolfach, the error does not
occur in Singular 3-1-0, but it ''does'' occur in Oberwolfach in Singular
3-0-4 (as being part of Sage). Opinions?
The "Opinions?" bit should be two lines lower. Sorry.
It turned out that the error occurs in ''any'' '''''Sage-built'''''
Singular version that I know: Singular 3-0-4 on sage.math, on two of my
computers, in Oberwolfach, and Singular 3-1-0-Beta on sage.math and on one
of my computers.
If Singular is not built by Sage, then the error apparently does not
occur: With Singular 3-0-3 (very old) on one of my machines,
Singular-3-1-0-Beta on my machine (same sources, modulo the usual patches,
as the sage-built version!), and Singular-3-1-0 official release in
Oberwolfach.
So, after all, it seems to me that it is all Sage's fault.
> But there still remains the question if {{{singular.version()}}} ought
to return a tuple of integers, rather than a lengthy string with all build
informations.
Here is where I want to know some "Opinions"...
