Should be able to write anything that version.pm can compare.
Module::Build::ModuleInfo will open the .pm and find the qr/$VERSION =/
line and make a version object out of what it finds. (Yes, I'm
over-simplifying that regexp a bit.)

Possibly, but only in that we should maybe be stringifying before YAML.
Care to write a test?
