Right! I forgot about functors. I don't think I'll include a "newVersion" method though; but I'll transform version into a callable table with a _VERSION field. I'll work on it this evening.
_VERSION uses a format (most common) of name followed by version; eg. 'Lua
5.2', so any utility function should first grab the last part (after the
last space) of the string and then perform comparisons.
Hmm. I don't think semver is the right place to do that. It's supposed to be an implementation of
semver.org. Adding that functionality would make it lose its "focus".
I think that functionality should go in a different lib; "luaversion" or "luamoduleversion" or similar.
