 /// Rattler supports six types of version strings:

 /// * Release versions contain only integers, e.g. '1.0', '2.3.5'.
-/// * Pre-release versions use additional letters such as 'a' or 'rc', for example '1.0a1',
-///   '1.2.beta3', '2.3.5rc3'.
-/// * Development versions are indicated by the string 'dev', for example '1.0dev42', '2.3.5.dev12'.
-/// * Post-release versions are indicated by the string 'post', for example '1.0post1', '2.3.5.post2'.
-/// * Tagged versions have a suffix that specifies a particular property of interest, e.g. '1.1.parallel'.
-///   Tags can be added  to any of the preceding four types. As far as sorting is concerned,
-///   tags are treated like strings in pre-release versions.
-/// * An optional local version string separated by '+' can be appended to the main (upstream) version string.
-///   It is only considered in comparisons when the main versions are equal, but otherwise handled in
-///   exactly the same manner.

 /// To obtain a predictable version ordering, it is crucial to keep the

 /// * The version part is then split into components at '.' and '_'.
 /// * Each component is split again into runs of numerals and non-numerals
 /// * Subcomponents containing only numerals are converted to integers.
-/// * Strings are converted to lower case, with special treatment for 'dev' and 'post'.
-/// * When a component starts with a letter, the fillvalue 0 is inserted to keep numbers and strings in phase,
