version comparisons
Do you look up the docs for versioncmp() every time you use it? Me too. This
module is just a thin syntactical sugar wrapper around that function that makes
it easy for humans to read and write.
It contains a small set of functions that make the code you write more readable.
The function name says what it does and it returns a boolean value for you to
build conditionals with. Versions can be passed as either strings (like
"1.0.0") or numbers (like 1 or 1.0).
All functions can be used in either infix or postfix style. For example, all of these comparisons do exactly the same thing.
if(fact('os.release.minor').version::greater('5')) {
notice("Minor os release greater than 5")
}
if(fact('os.release.minor').version::greater(5)) {
notice("Minor os release greater than 5")
}
if(version::greater(fact('os.release.minor'), 5)) {
notice("Minor os release greater than 5")
}

cross-claim or counterclaim in a lawsuit) alleging that the Work
or a Contribution incorporated within the Work constitutes direct
or contributory patent infringement, then any patent licenses
granted to You under this License for that Work shall terminate

of the NOTICE file are for informational purposes only and
do not modify the License. You may add Your own attribution
notices within Derivative Works that You distribute, alongside
or as an addendum to the NOTICE text from the Work, provided
that such additional attribution notices cannot be construed
as modifying the License.
You may add Your own copyright statement to Your modifications and
may provide additional or different license terms and conditions
for use, reproduction, or distribution of Your modifications, or
for any such Derivative Works as a whole, provided Your use,
reproduction, and distribution of the Work otherwise complies with
the conditions stated in this License.
5. Submission of Contributions. Unless You explicitly state otherwise,
any Contribution intentionally submitted for inclusion in the Work
by You to the Licensor shall be under the terms and conditions of

incidental, or consequential damages of any character arising as a
result of this License or out of the use or inability to use the
Work (including but not limited to damages for loss of goodwill,
work stoppage, computer failure or malfunction, or any and all
other commercial damages or losses), even if such Contributor
has been advised of the possibility of such damages.
9. Accepting Warranty or Additional Liability. While redistributing
the Work or Derivative Works thereof, You may choose to offer,
and charge a fee for, acceptance of support, warranty, indemnity,
or other liability obligations and/or rights consistent with this
License. However, in accepting such obligations, You may act only
