I was under the impression that .devX and .postX where accepted, but
it got messy when .postX.devX got used. But AFAIC (I'm not re-reading
the entire thread now) it was stated that .postX.devX was not actually
required (and if it was required just allowig exactly one each and it
that order was sufficient).
Not quite; it's .devX.postX that's not required.
It should be possible to implement all the development schemes I know
of using something like:
X(.X?)*([abc]X?)?(.postX?)?(.devX?)?
where "X" expands to (\d+).
Which is why I don't really understand what all the fuss is
about. If you're going to support a/b/c, you're not going to be able
to do straight string comparison anyway, so there's little loss in
allowing ONE post tag and ONE dev tag to be used as well.
