So to you having to understand two slightly different comparison algorithms is simpler than one? Can't agree with that, the simplest defintion for `bar` is `see foo` if `foo` is already known. And as for the final letter in versions/revisions: If upstream sometimes prefers this naming scheme, why are you so sure that other people (users) won't prefer it?
