Hi!

I think recording module version information is a really
underappreciated feature in Java 9+. The module's own version shows up
in many places, which I like. I think it could be added to `java
--show-module-resolution`, too.

It is much harder to access the versions of the dependencies against
which a module was compiled. I thought I'd like it when it showed up in
`jar --describe-module`, but I can see why "requires org.lib@1.2" is too
easy to misinterpret.

Maybe another way could be found to make this information available on
the command line (i.e. without having to use `ModuleDeclaration`).

 so long ... Nicolai
