#5994, without a patch but with a suggestion of what to do. I first
want to know what people think

When I did singular.version(), I expected to get a tuple, say:
  sage: singular.version()
  (3,0,4,4)

Would you expect a string such as
'Singular for x86_64-Linux version 3-0-4 (3044-2009031122)  Mar 11
2009 22:29:08\nwith\n\tfactory(@(#) factoryVersion = 3.0.4),libfac
(3.0.4,Mar 2008),\n\tGMP(4.2),NTL(5.4.2),static readline,Plural,DBM,\n
\tnamespaces,dynamic modules,dynamic
