/**
 * A version scheme using a generic version syntax and common sense sorting.
 * 
 * This scheme accepts versions of any form, interpreting a version as a sequence of numeric and alphabetic segments.
 * The characters '-', '_', and '.' as well as the mere transitions from digit to letter and vice versa delimit the
 * version segments. Delimiters are treated as equivalent.
 * 
 * 
 * Numeric segments are compared mathematically, alphabetic segments are compared lexicographically and
 * case-insensitively. However, the following qualifier strings are recognized and treated specially: "alpha" = "a" <
 * "beta" = "b" < "milestone" = "m" < "cr" = "rc" < "snapshot" < "final" = "ga" < "sp". All of those
 * well-known qualifiers are considered smaller/older than other strings. An empty segment/string is equivalent to 0.
 * 
 * 
 * In addition to the above mentioned qualifiers, the tokens "min" and "max" may be used as final version segment to
 * denote the smallest/greatest version having a given prefix. For example, "1.2.min" denotes the smallest version in
 * the 1.2 line, "1.2.max" denotes the greatest version in the 1.2 line. A version range of the form "[M.N.*]" is short
 * for "[M.N.min, M.N.max]".
 * 
 * 
 * Numbers and strings are considered incomparable against each other. Where version segments of different kind would
 * collide, comparison will instead assume that the previous segments are padded with trailing 0 or "ga" segments,
 * respectively, until the kind mismatch is resolved, e.g. "1-alpha" = "1.0.0-alpha" < "1.0.1-ga" = "1.0.1".
