I was under the impression that previous art was being followed in the area of specifying dependencies. That previous art being the many existing dependency systems, which use obvious comparison operators (the ‘>’ ‘>=’ ‘<’ ‘<=’) and no range operators or implicit ranges. > So, if no one object, I propose to continue this thread about the way > range should be compared, to see if we meet a consensus quite soon.

Please, keep the operators simple and obvious, drawing on the existing conventions in other systems, so there's no need to have bike-shedding discussions over new syntax. -- \ “Science is a way of trying not to fool yourself.
