Intuitively, I think many people use this formula:

read . take 3 . filter isDigit . (++"000")

So version numbers would translate roughly like:

1 100 1.0 100 1.1 110 1.1.1 111 1.1.2 112 1.12 112 1.12.1 112

Although this is ambiguous, my feeling is that in projects using major.minor.smaller, the minor number tends not to rise above 9, and conversely, if a project's minor number rises above 9, it tends only to use two levels of numbering not three.

Doesn't that make 1.9 > 1.10 whereas I think the opposite is true with cabal? Thanks Ian
