..but now that it has happened, I think it makes sense for these
functions to accept an optional argument to limit the number of
version string elements to compare. E.g.
(version= "22.0.50" "22.0.50.37") => nil
(version= "22.0.50.36" "22.0.50.37") => nil
(version= "22.0.50" "22.0.50.37" 3) => t
(version= "22.0.50.36" "22.0.50.37" 3) => t
This may be useful as an addition to a general version number
comparison, but for Emacs version numbers, I think we should DTRT based
on the shorter of the two arguments:
(version= "22" "22.0.50.37") => t
Actually, I don't see why you need the second argument at all - won't it
always be emacs-version you want to compare with?
