Ansible running inside WSL can have direct access to the cmd.exe/powershell.exe executables on the PATH. With such access it should be possible to implement a connection plugin which uses these directly, inspired by the local connection plugin for non-Windows machines.

This would remove the need to enable WinRM or sshd in order to connect to the local Windows host from the WSL virtual machine which requies additional setup before being usable.
