Definitely. The main difference is that '_' and (especially) '-' are version number's separators, we can't easy cut them off. AFAIK '~' is never used as a version separator. But it's sort of optimization problem. If anybody has a better idea about the regular expression, send it to me. I'll compare it with the current implementation and other known implementations and send you the result.
