Support for semver::VersionReq

[justinaustin]

Hello! I was wondering if you had any plans to support a lenient-semver parser for semver::VersionReq in addition to semver::Version

Hi! There are actually plans to do this, yes. I've started a while ago in https://github.com/knutwalker/lenient-semver-range. It's not yet usable though (or correct, for that matter). Do you have a specific use case in mind?

Oh nice! I'm parsing dependency declarations from the Python Package Index but unfortunately there are a ton of allowed versions that aren't compatible with semver, like 2.0dev1 and 1.2.3.4. lenient_semver::parse has provided a great solution for 90% of the Version parsing (which is perfectly acceptable for now), so much appreciated!
