Well, "positive integer" as used must include zero also, or by that |
| 15 |
definition, 0.xx style versions would be disallowed as well. That just |
| 16 |
wouldn't be sane if we're to keep anything even /close/ to upstream |
| 17 |
version mapping, so "positive" as used here must include 0 (and does by |
| 18 |
the literal ranged definition), and both 0.xx and x.00 are therefore |
| 19 |
defined as allowed, unless there's a further restriction elsewhere that |
| 20 |
hasn't been quoted. |
