// Package semver implements comparison of semantic version strings.
// In this package, semantic version strings must begin with a leading "v",
// as in "v1.0.0".
//
// The general form of a semantic version string accepted by this package is
//
//	vMAJOR[.MINOR[.PATCH[-PRERELEASE][+BUILD]]]
//
// where square brackets indicate optional parts of the syntax;
// MAJOR, MINOR, and PATCH are decimal integers without extra leading zeros;
// PRERELEASE and BUILD are each a series of non-empty dot-separated identifiers
// using only alphanumeric characters and hyphens; and
// all-numeric PRERELEASE identifiers must not have leading zeros.
//
// This package follows Semantic Versioning 2.0.0 (see semver.org)
// with two exceptions. First, it requires the "v" prefix. Second, it recognizes
// vMAJOR and vMAJOR.MINOR (with no prerelease or build suffixes)
// as shorthands for vMAJOR.0.0 and vMAJOR.MINOR.0.
