I would actually be nice to have a more robust variant for non-CRAN versions. For example I just had to do a local hack to be able to use what the QuantLib 'rc' 1.34-rc reported (when I then used to R facilities to condition code and tests on whether I was dealing with code before or after an API transition). So as a wishlist: could you envision an extension to package_version() casting that, say, removes all [a-zA-Z]+ first (if opted into) ?
