// Package gover implements support for Go toolchain versions like 1.21.0 and 1.21rc1.
// (For historical reasons, Go does not use semver for its toolchains.)
// This package provides the same basic analysis that golang.org/x/mod/semver does for semver.
//
// The go/version package should be imported instead of this one when possible.
// Note that this package works on "1.21" while go/version works on "go1.21".

// A Version is a parsed Go version: major[.Minor[.Patch]][kind[pre]]
// The numbers are the original decimal strings to avoid integer overflows
// and since there is very little actual math. (Probably overflow doesn't matter in practice,
// but at the time this code was written, there was an existing test that used
// go1.99999999999, which does not fit in an int on 32-bit platforms.
// The "big decimal" representation avoids the problem entirely.)
