+\r
+Actually that is a good point:\r
+\r
+What I put there was modeled after `emacs-version':\r
+"Version numbers of this version of Emacs."\r
+\r
+Then, gnus has (lisp/gnus/gnus.el in emacs sources):\r
+\r
+(defconst gnus-version-number "5.13"\r
+ "Version number for this version of Gnus.")\r
+\r
+(defconst gnus-version (format "Gnus v%s" gnus-version-number)\r
+ "Version string for this version of Gnus.")\r
+\r
+All of these are of type string, and the documentation states whether \r
+it is (at least close to) numeric or not within string. But there is\r
+no tradition of what *-version should contain.\r
+\r
+Therefore if we say "Version of Notmuch Emacs MUA", it can contain\r
+"0.17+163~gcedea23" "0.18" or "unknown"\r
