1. `invocation-name' doesn't tell you anything about
the Emacs version, AFAICT.
Since emacs is normally installed using a version name as well, it can
tell you that.
2. As Eli would presumably point out [*], users who
have installed multiple Emacs versions are uncommon,
and those of them who run more than one version at
the same time are even more uncommon. (I'm one of
them, FWIW.)
Debian installs Emacs as emacs-version, and often also emacs-snapshot
for a later one. It is also common to have a X11, non-X11, GTK, etc
versions.
If installing multiple Emacs versions is uncommon, why is it the
default way that Emacs gets installed and has been installed since
time begun?
