Oh I didn't even see that use of version.  Hmm.  Maybe if there is no
other options and you get version it should spit out the version info?
I can't think of how that would be incompatible, course it might be
slightly confusing if it was documented, but it would get the standard
console app behavior one would expect.  Just a thought.
