Feature Request: support version specifiers

[junosuarez]

I want to be able to add a version specifier to request a particular version of a command. This could be useful either for checking out beta tagged versions that aren't yet "latest", or for going back in time and checking that something works with a specific prior version. It also makes it feel more npm-like.

right now, I get:

> npx standard@5 --version
6.0.4

and instead it would be awesome to get:

> npx standard@5 --version
5.4.1

(also, since npm info standard --json | js .version is 10.0.2, I'm not sure why I'm getting 6.0.4 other than assuming I've got it cached somewhere on my machine - but that's a different issue)

This should already work. Maybe update npx?

Another reason might be if you have standard installed globally or in the current project, in which case it just runs that binary. I guess I should force an install if you provide a --package or a @version specifier.

Here it is, without a global standard, though:

Ah, that was totally it- I had standard@6.0.4 installed globally.

I guess I should force an install if you provide a --package or a @Version specifier.

This would more or less match the behavior I expected. The "run globally installed version if available" is somewhat surprising.

This is available as of npx@2.0.0
