Research direction

Start at the grep command's --version or -V handling and inspect how the current grep 0.1.0 output is assembled. Update the version output to include the requested project information, then verify that invoking grep --version produces the intended additional text.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

When doing grep --version I get grep 0.1.0.

It would be nice to see something like this:

grep 0.1.0 Microsoft CoreUtils

(Just to have more info on why it behaves like it does.....)

P.S. Above comment does not imply anything about current behavior! 🤔😉😁
