 1. Precedence MUST be calculated by separating the version into major, minor,
-patch, pre-release, and build identifiers in that order. Major, minor, and
-patch versions are always compared numerically. Pre-release precedence MUST be
-determined by comparing each dot separated identifier as follows: identifiers
-consisting of only digits are compared numerically and identifiers with
-letters or hyphens are compared lexically in ASCII sort order. Numeric
-identifiers always have lower precedence than non-numeric identifiers.
-Example: 1.0.0-alpha < 1.0.0-alpha.1 < 1.0.0-beta.2 < 1.0.0-beta.11 <
-1.0.0-rc.1 < 1.0.0.
