With hindsight, I can see that this is to be expected, which is not to 
say that it is good.

Going forward, I'm not sure what the correct fix will be, especially 
given the upcoming JEP for semantic versioning.

Before you provide a fix, I'd be interested to hear suggestions on what 
the fix should be.  One solution is that we should just allow numbers to 
be represented as Double as well as Long. A different solution would be 
to introduce a "version" type somehow.
