Surely, as per Algorithm 2, that is false, because "020" and "02" are |

both integers, and therefor they'd default to integer comparison, and |

"020" would be deemed ">" "02" |

And that is most surely what happens in reality too, otherwise, surely, |

Would resolve to perl-5.22.0 |

Algorithm 3 should only fall into play if one or both of the |
| 17 |
compontents are non-numeric. |

Or is "leading 0" a "Non-numeric" condition? |

Either way, I'm glad nothing really scary happens when I do: |

emerge --ignore-default-opts -vaO =dev-lang/perl-5.0220.0 |
