RFE: Make the :scriptversion command usable within a sequence of | bar-separated comands at the command-line.

[Tony Mechelynck]

Example:
:scriptversion 4 | echo 123'456'789 | scriptversion 1 | echo 123'456'789
now gives
E984: :scriptversion used outside of a sourced file
I suggest displaying
123456789
123 456 789
instead.

This would make it possible to use at the command-line syntaxes not
supported at scriptversion 1, sometimes making typing easier, as e.g.
for big numbers.

Best regards,
Tony.

Hmm, I don't really want to allow using :scriptversion at the command
line, it is really meant to be used in a script.

We should be able to use the ":vim9cmd" modifier. However, it appears
not to work. I can fix that. Then this works:

:vim9cmd echo 123'456'789
