  | in accordance with the GNU standards for what --version should print.

I don't actually care what --version prints (though keeping it relatively
constant - other than its value of course - over time, so any scripts that
parse it don't have to keep being updated is a good idea).

But why do we care about GNU standards?   Sure, POSIX, and IEEE C make
sense to follow, but GNU??   Why??
