Describe the Problem

ethers-ts seems to be always using [email protected]. This presents a problem when it is used on .sol files that include pragma solidity ^0.8.13 since ether-ts is requiring a different version of solc than the file it's being used on.

In the example below, Interface.sol only needs to include pragma solidity ^0.8.13;

Already filed it as a bug but now seeing that the cli code is not supporting solc >= 0.8 I see why the bug occurs, so might be better to change this to a feature request

In v6, for now I'm sunsetting the cli tools as part of core, but may revisit them in the future.

For now, tools like Hardhat, TypeChain, etc. fill this hole nicely now. :)

Closing now, but thanks! :)
