C++ library compare and manipulate versions are available as extensions to the
<major>.<minor>.<patch>-<prerelease_type>.<prerelease_number> format complying
with Semantic Versioning 2.0.0


- why is this package useful/relevant? is it a dependency for
  another package? do you use it? if there are other packages
  providing similar functionality, how does it compare?
        
  This package is used by https://github.com/exaloop/codon and
  https://github.com/Ultimaker/CuraEngine.
  It has 237 stars on github and 3575 downloads on conan center at this moment.

  https://github.com/z4kn4fein/cpp-semver has similar functionality, but
  much less popularity.

- how do you plan to maintain it? inside a packaging team
  (check list at https://wiki.debian.org/Teams)? are you
  looking for co-maintainers? do you need a sponsor?

  I plan to maintain it.
