This may be useful as an addition to a general version number comparison, but for Emacs version numbers, I think we should DTRT based on the shorter of the two arguments:..but now that it has happened, I think it makes sense for these functions to accept an optional argument to limit the number of version string elements to compare. E.g. (version= "22.0.50" "22.0.50.37") => nil (version= "22.0.50.36" "22.0.50.37") => nil (version= "22.0.50" "22.0.50.37" 3) => t (version= "22.0.50.36" "22.0.50.37" 3) => t
(version= "22" "22.0.50.37") => tActually, I don't see why you need the second argument at all - won't it always be emacs-version you want to compare with?
