SemVer version 0.3.0

This module subclasses [version] to create semantic versions, as defined by the Semantic Versioning Specification. The two salient points of the specification, for the purposes of version formatting, are:

1. A normal version number MUST take the form X.Y.Z where X, Y, and Z are integers. X is the major version, Y is the minor version, and Z is the patch version. Each element MUST increase numerically. For instance: 1.9.0 < 1.10.0 < 1.11.0.

2. A special version number MAY be denoted by appending an arbitrary string immediately following the patch version. The string MUST be comprised of only alphanumerics plus dash (/0-9A-Za-z-/) and MUST begin with an alpha character (/A-Za-z/). Special versions satisfy but have a lower precedence than the associated normal version. Precedence should be determined by lexicographic ASCII sort order. For instance: 1.0.0beta1 < 1.0.0beta2 < 1.0.0.
