No, in Bram's system anything with two letters (alpha) is before
anything with one letter (beta) which is before anything with no letters
(release). So in this case 7.2a.008 comes before 7.2.0. Similarly with
Mozilla, (Firefox) 2.0.0.16pre is before 2.0.0.16 and (SeaMonkey)
2.0a1pre is before 2.0a1 which is before 2.0, in a manner which is just
as contrary to strict lexicographical ordering.

Tony.
