So one (perhaps small) issue with this is that if there are versions
[email protected]
[email protected]
then "[email protected]" will match the latter, not the former. That is, it means
you have to know the version space immediately following the version you
want to install so that you don't install a version you don't want. Or you
could add some "sufficiently large" number of .0s to "make sure" you don't
run into the problem: "[email protected]" (hopefully that's
enough). I don't know how compelling that is, but I'm pretty sure I've
seen versions with two consecutive .0s before.
