• Mixing of '-' (dash) and '.' (dot) separators
• Transition between characters and digits also constitutes a separator:

  • Wiki Markup
    1.0alpha1 => \[1, 0, alpha, 1\]; This fixes '1.0alpha10 < 1.0alpha2'

• Unlimited number of version components
• Version components in the text can be digits or strings
• strings are checked for well-known qualifiers and the qualifier ordering is used for version ordering
  • well-known qualifiers (case insensitive)
    • snapshot (NOTE; snapshot needs discussion)
    • alpha or a
    • beta or b
    • milestone or m
    • rc or cr
    • snapshot (NOTE; snapshot needs discussion)
    • (the empty string) or ga or final
    • sp
• version components prefixed with '-' will result in a sub-list of version components.
  A dash usually precedes a qualifier, and is always less important than something preceded with a dot.
  We need to somehow record the separators themselves, which is done by sublists.
  Parse examples:

  • Wiki Markup
    1.0-alpha1 => \[1, 0, \["alpha", 1\]\]

  • Wiki Markup
    1.0-rc-2 => \[1, 0, \["rc", \[2\]\]\]
