9 This is sort of the same for PHP. We need to know the major and minor
10 version based on the flag value. We technically could assume that
11 major version would be one digit and the rest would be the minor
12 version, but didn't feel quite right to unnecessary remove information
13 from the variables and then try to hack it back in again.

15 I don't really care what the separator is. The reason I chose dash for
16 separation major/minor version was simply to distinguish between the
17 value and variable part of USE_EXPAND. Just seemed natural at the time.

19 The last time this discussion came up I offered to change the grammar,
20 but people did not seem to care enough for me to send all PHP users
21 through the hassle. I am also not quite sure how to change the grammar
22 in a clean way.
