the second you do this you're gonna get bugs filed saying that you
didn't sort the versions the way the user intended... how do you
sort
a1' vs 'b5' vs 'rc1' vs 'z7'?
Really? String#<=> is pretty well-understood as far as I can tell.
Oh, I bet will get scarier than that: Locale, current character set,
multibyte chars, utf-[8,16,32], and is the -K option in use, and are
we doing case sensitive matches or not? {Is anyone still using
EBCDIC?
I hope not, that's scarier than some of the things lurking in
Dwemthy's
Array! :-)}
It will be simple enough to restrict version characters to the ASCII
range.
