Version name: use semantic versioning

We prefer to give each script a version name a.k.a. version number, and we prefer to use semantic versioning: http://semver.org/

The important aspect to our teams is that documenting the version name makes it easier for our teammates to understand when to upgrade to a newer version, and easier to document features and issues.

We prefer to create a function version() such as:

version(){
        printf %s "1.0.0"
}

We work with some organizations that prefer to use a variable such as:

version="1.0.0"

We work with some organizations that prefer to use a comment such as:

# version 1.0.0
