Hmm, it's possible if you ignore security fixes, these sometimes skip a
longer range of patches.
We could add v:longversion or v:versionlong, with:
major version (one digit)
minor version (two digits)
patchlevel (four digits)
Current version would be 8011523. Then you can easily compare with the
version you need, no string parsing or anything.
