Replying to [comment:15 SimonKing]:
> Do we want that (at least by default) it returns a tuple of three or
four numbers (three- resp four-digit vesion numbers), or do people like
that the output of `singular.version()` (if it is called again after the
initial error) returns a lengthy string with full information on the way
Singular has been built?
As a default I would suggest output similar to `pari.version()`. But for
now at least `kash_version()` and `r_version()` gives slightly different
output...
Maybe right way could be to remove them, and have something like
`version('kash')` for one package and `version()` for all packages?
