Found .net core version different by typing `dotnet` and `dotnet --version` in OSX

Anyone knows why when I type dotnet --version get 1.0.0-preview2-1-003177, but get 1.1.0 when type dotnet?

Ian-MBP:C# Ian_Weng$ dotnet --version
1.0.0-preview2-1-003177
Ian-MBP:C# Ian_Weng$ dotnet

Microsoft .NET Core Shared Framework Host

  Version  : 1.1.0
  Build    : 928f77c4bc3f49d892459992fb6e1d5542cb5e86

So it looks like when you run dotnet, the "version" you are seeing is the version of something called the "Microsoft .NET Core Shared Framework Host", whereas when you run dotnet --version or dotnet --info, the "version" you are seeing is the version of something called the "Microsoft .NET Core SDK".

There is a GitHub issue in the .NET Core CLI repository discussing the less than ideal information architecture at play here. You can read through the issue to get some insight and/or add your own comments to let the developers know what you think.
