Description

I sometimes use the playground (which is great, thanks!) for MWEs in bug reports and stackoverflow questions. Especially for bugs, the version is important.

There is some version info in the channel dropdown, but it'd be great to have a copy-paste version of rustc --version --verbose on the share screen (there's plenty of space, and then it can be pasted along with the link).

Research direction

Start by locating the share screen and the existing version information in the channel dropdown. Check how the share screen renders its content, then expose a copy-pasteable equivalent of rustc --version --verbose there. Done means the version details are visible on the share screen and can be copied with the shared link.
