https://docs.raku.org/language/variables#$?DISTRIBUTION doesn't mention that you need to call it from a module to be useful (in top level scripts, it's Nil)

Also add that both .meta<version> and .meta<ver> work, but "you should use the one you define in your META6.json, which would be version. For historical/backcompat reasons ver also gets added to the META6.json upon install, but prior to install it might not exist based on what type of Distribution object gets used to create it"
