ambiguous version info

[Tom Byrer]

version := 'whoami (V coreutils) 0.0.1'

Is the whoami v0.0.1? Or Vcoreutils?
I'd like to suggest 1 of the following; hopefully the first:

// whoami version
version := 'whoami 0.0.1 (V coreutils)'

// V coreutils
version := 'whoami (V coreutils 0.0.1)'

Thanks for starting on this project!

Going by GNU style, we should use the second one. It also makes sense since all the coreutils are bundled together

I'm used to JavaScript land, where if there are many modules in a meta repo each module has its own version, since they can be required individually. Perhaps you see this as only being distributed all together, I can see projects only using & requiring/repackaging a few commands....

[Vineet Rao]

True, but these are more user commands, so they would be packaged and used together. Even if they are used programmatically, they won't be downloaded/updated separately.

Solved by the common module.
