Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

A WSL distro is installed with

wsl --install Ubuntu-22.04

However, it is uninstalled with

wsl --unregister Ubuntu-22.04

If you accidentally type:

wsl --uninstall Ubuntu-22.04

You're in for an exciting day.

Describe the solution you'd like

If extra arguments are provided, the command should error.

You provided a distro to WSL uninstallation, perhaps you meant --unregister?

Describe alternatives you've considered
