Clarifying: yary seems to have been confused by the fact that META6.json
(only) needs to use version numbers without the leading "v". Perl 6 code
needs to continue to use version-string syntax with the leading "v";
otherwise the ".c" confuses it since "c" is not a valid decimal digit. (I
assume this is because JSON marshaling of version strings creates /
consumes normal strings, those being the only strings defined in JSON, and
the leading "v" of a version string is treated as syntax in the same way
that Python's "r'" or Ruby's "%r{" are, with no way to represent those
"metadata" in JSON.)
