** Work around **

(require 'clojure.core)
(in-ns 'clojure.core)

(def *clojure-version* {:major      1
                        :minor      10
                       :incremental 1
                       :qualifier   nil})
                       
;; Go back to previous ns

Additionally, we need to expose (clojure-version) as well. I'd say we just expose the Clojure version of the host environment, perhaps with an additional "-sci" modifier or so.

Another note: this only applies to the JVM Clojure version, CLJS afaik doesn't have such a thing.
