Get the full version from WSL

[42sol-eu]

After a wsl --update I want to check the full version of the WSL (x.y.z)

Describe the solution you'd like
wsl --list --version shows all x.y.z and not only x (2)

Describe alternatives you've considered
provide a new flag to show detailed version of a distribution.

Additional context
It is really hard to evaluate a upgrade it the full version is not shown.

It's a little confusing, but there are two versions:

1. The version of the WSL package, this is the x.y.z version
2. The version of your distro (WSL1 uses lxcore driver, WSL2 uses a VM).

You get the former by running wsl.exe --version the later by running wsl.exe --list --version
