The `version` attribute value may either be a single explicit version or
a version constraint expression. Constraint expressions use the following
syntax to specify a _range_ of versions that are acceptable:
* `>= 1.2.0`: version 1.2.0 or newer
* `<= 1.2.0`: version 1.2.0 or older
* `~> 1.2.0`: any non-beta version between 1.2.0 (inclusive) and 1.3.0 (exclusive), e.g. `1.2.X`
* `~> 1.2`: any non-beta version between 1.2.0 (inclusive) and 2.0.0 (exclusive), e.g. `1.X.Y`
* `>= 1.0.0, <= 2.0.0`: any version between 1.0.0 and 2.0.0 inclusive
