The Version class accepts numeric components that contain digits with
diacritics, and faithfully preserves the grapheme string just as it
preserves non-ASCII digits. But these components then behave badly
in comparisons:
> Version.new("34\x[308]5") leg Version.new("4")
Less
The digit with diacritic effectively terminates the digit sequence,
for the purpose of finding a numeric value. This is probably due to
[perl #128542]. This implies that fixing that bug, making the coercion
reject such modified digits (as appears to be the intent), would cause
the Version comparison to signal an error. That would also be buggy
behaviour, so Version has a problem distinct from the problem with
Str.Int.
