It is, if the version strings are chosen to fit within such a

How would you propose Python itself (a project that doesn't have
especially wacky release numbers) specify 3.1.1rc1 in such a scheme?
Since the specification is about version *comparison* semantics, I'd
need to know example version strings that should compare “prior” and
“subsequent” for the version string I'm to propose. Can you give
examples?
I want to install the latest version of Python. My choices are 3.3.1
(the released version) and 3.3.1rc1.
