Describe your use case and the problem you are facing

For wp core verify-checksums the --version option is available to specify WP core version.
This is very useful in a deploy (update) process to check if the codebase is on the expected version.
If verify returns success, then skip download and/or report no change, if verification fails then download the right (usually newer) version. So it's possible to create an idempotent process.

It would be great to apply this logic to plugins also!

Describe the solution you'd like

Adding a --version option to plugin verify-checksums where we could directly set the version not just getting that from the plugin.
Of course, this would make sense only if a single plugin is provided, but this can be handled by ignoring --version if --all or multiple plugins are passed in.

Note: I'm happy to submit a PR.

Sounds good 👍

We support multiple positional arguments and --version=<version> with wp plugin install, so we can follow that as prior art.

I was just wondering about the chances of installing (or verify) two different plugins that happens to have the same version. With --all, I believe, that chance gets close to zero... :)
But why not indeed? There can be a use-case, so don't limit ourselves.
