Command :version should show major.minor.patch

[JohnBeckett]

It is convenient to say that Vim version 8.2.x is needed for a particular feature, but someone not familiar with Vim conventions may not know what the "x" means. I propose that, if "Included patches" is a range such as "1-3273", :version should show:

    VIM - Vi IMproved 8.2.3273 (...)

    ...

    Included patches: 1-3273

instead of:

    VIM - Vi IMproved 8.2 (...)

    ...

    Included patches: 1-3273

If included patches is not a contiguous range, just show 8.2 as is done currently.

Since the date that follows is for 8.2, it might be a bit confusing.
I don't think many people would have trouble understanding that the
third number is the patch level. I mean, in a time were people refer to
changes by their commit hash...

Luxury. We used to have to get out of the lake at three o'clock in the
morning, clean the lake, eat a handful of hot gravel, go to work at the
mill every day for tuppence a month, come home, and Dad would beat us
around the head and neck with a broken bottle, if we were LUCKY!
