What are you seeing?

All DotNet command settings, still have settings that have properties that contain the word Core in them.

For example:

DotNetBuildSettings.MSBuildSettings is of type DotNet*Core*MSBuildSettings
DotNetBuildSettings.RollForward is of type DotNet*Core*RollForward?
DotNetBuildSettings.Verbosity is of type DotNet*Core*Verbosity?

This goes for all DotNet*Settings related classes.

What is expected?

That the Core suffix is removed.

Steps to Reproduce

Se above

Is this fixed by #3683?

DotNetBuildSettings.MSBuildSettings is of type DotNet*Core*MSBuildSettings

This fixed by #3683

DotNetBuildSettings.RollForward is of type DotNet*Core*RollForward?
DotNetBuildSettings.Verbosity is of type DotNet*Core*Verbosity?

These are tricky ones because they are both enums in Cake v1.x and we can't use inheritance to keep backwards compatibility as we did with all the different settings classes. So DotNetRollForward is just syntactic sugar to allow you to use the new name (without the Core).

i.e. DotNetRollForward.Major is the same as DotNetCoreRollForward.Major

I'm sure it's possible to change, but I believe it will require updating the underlying runners that are called by the aliases (e.g. DotNetCoreRunner), and possibly add some "smart enum" implementation with implicit conversion, etc. to maintain backwards compatibility 🤔 . I'll do some tinkering.

I didn't find any other property in any of the new DotNet***Settings other than the above - let me know if I missed anything.

The only usage of DotNetCore*** other than the above are the runners that are used by the aliases, and some settings classes that inherit DotNetCore***Settings for backwards compatibility with generic base classes like ToolSetings<T>, etc..
