Surely, as per Algorithm 2, that is false, because "020" and "02" are
both integers, and therefor they'd default to integer comparison, and
"020" would be deemed ">" "02"
And that is most surely what happens in reality too, otherwise, surely,
emerge --ignore-default-opts -vaO =dev-lang/perl-5.220.0
Would resolve to perl-5.22.0
Algorithm 3 should only fall into play if one or both of the
compontents are non-numeric.
Or is "leading 0" a "Non-numeric" condition?
Either way, I'm glad nothing really scary happens when I do:
emerge --ignore-default-opts -vaO =dev-lang/perl-5.0220.0
