So to be more complete, the proposal is to do this::

This looks perfect to me, and very unambiguous. Allowing the .dev and .post modifiers at every release stage I think clears up the issue here better than any other proposal. +1. (This is also semantically the same as semver--just not syntactically the same. I like semver but I think we're stuck with the existing syntax which is fine.) Erik
