Well the User can also set a environment variable BASH_VERSION and
overwrite the existing one. However that is not a good idea. Having a
variable which returns e.g. v:version + patchlevel allows scripts to
handle differences in Vim patchlevel, like the prompt buffer that is
about to be developed now.

That does not work on Windows and I am not even sure, that it is Vims
responsibility to assign a device name. So no, I don't consider this to
be a stable solution.
