Description

What?

As far as I can see to define CLI version you do this

import sade from 'sade'
const CLI = sade('latitude')
CLI.version('1.2.3')

Then that shows

latitude 1.2.3

It's fine but our CLI install a nodejs server that we call the app. We would like to show both versions. CLI and app versions. Something like this:

So far we manage to hack sade by overriding _version private function

CLI['_version'] = versionCommand

But this is not ideal. I think it would be nice if .version method allows a function

CLI.version(versionCommand)

I'm open to make this change if you consider is a good idea.

Research direction

Start at the public .version method and the existing _version implementation, which the issue identifies as the current customization point. Trace how the CLI version is displayed, then verify that passing a function supports the requested CLI and app version output while preserving the existing string form.
