Comment:
In #418 Saizan notes:
Dependencies of the form "foo > x" don't really make sense given the
hackage version policy, since they exclude x but include x.y which is
supposed to have a similar api, and if you want something introduced in a
minor (or lesser) release you can explicitly mention that.
Also what is often intended with that notation is foo >= (x+1), causing
confusion.
I propose that we allow only closed lower bounds, i.e. foo >= x.
