I don't think we need to change the syntax in fact. The current one,
with simple operators covers the needs as far as I see.

What was fuzzy is the meaning of version strings like "2.5".

Once it's clarified (and it seems we have a better definition already
since a few mails), I think the current syntax works naturally with
ranges.
