Why do you find it useful? What would be the purpose of it? Dash is supposed to 
be POSIX-compatible, so there isn’t a need for feature detection as with bash 
or zsh, and I don’t think the version of dash itself is a useful indicator of 
particular features being available or not.

I am definitely not going to add this in a Debian-specific patch.
If you’re interested in having this feature, please talk to the upstream. I’m 
not going to do that, since I disagree with this addition for the reasons I 
outlined above.
