There's some sort of feature for mapping semantic ("generic") version
tags to PEP-compatible version strings. Please find out what it is,
*before* you reply, and explain why it doesn't work for you.

It's unlikely to get bigger. PEP 440 is not just about coming up with
a regular notation for versions; it is also about dependency
computations. There's enough junk in there for that.
