The character class [.-v] is interpreted as all the characters between . and v, which is clearly not what is intended here.

Here's an example of what this fixes. Before:

❯ brew ruby -e 'puts Version.detect("https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/releases/download/llvmorg-16.0.0-rc1/llvm-project-16.0.0rc1.src.tar.xz")'
6.0.0rc1

After:

❯ brew ruby -e 'puts Version.detect("https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/releases/download/llvmorg-16.0.0-rc1/llvm-project-16.0.0rc1.src.tar.xz")'
16.0.0rc1

The problem here is that 1 is a match for /[.-v]/.

❯ brew ruby -e 'puts /[.-v]/.match("1")'
1

The character class `[.-v]` is interpreted as all the characters between
`.` and `v`, which is clearly not what is intended here.

Here's an example of what this fixes. Before:

    ❯ brew ruby -e 'puts Version.detect("https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/releases/download/llvmorg-16.0.0-rc1/llvm-project-16.0.0rc1.src.tar.xz")'
    6.0.0rc1

After:

    ❯ brew ruby -e 'puts Version.detect("https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/releases/download/llvmorg-16.0.0-rc1/llvm-project-16.0.0rc1.src.tar.xz")'
    16.0.0rc1

The problem here is that `1` is a match for `/[.-v]/`.

    ❯ brew ruby -e 'puts /[.-v]/.match("1")'
    1

It seems this did use to have /[-.v]/, but was then changed to /[.-v]/ in a52959d through #10433.

I can't find any reasoning for it though, but it seems safe to conclude that the change was not intended.
