dotnet version <FULLVERSION>

I would love to be able to call

$ dotnet version <full_version_number>

To update the version number as a whole in the project.json file.

1. Yeah, it’s very useful to be able to set that from command line during the release pipeline. See e.g: https://docs.npmjs.com/cli/version
2. I knoe project.json goes away but the dotnet tooling does not, the command would also be relevant to set Assembly versions before e.g a dotnet pack. --version-suffix does not cut it for major/minor releases.

I wrote a small tool: https://github.com/simonech/dotnet-prop/ it is dotnet prop add --version <version_num>
