Cool, I wasn't sure how you intended to handle that, and supplying the
values will make it explicit that those are really only useful in
"version_range" and not anywhere else. Although at that point the
question becomes whether or not they're offering any benefit beyond
just using "None" in the appropriate location.

Cheers,
