Update range.js comments to clarify the caret exaples Caret (^) - does not modify the left-most non-zero element in the M.m.p-e. Tilde (~) - does not modify M and m. hence, ^0.0.1-1 matches 0.0.1-5 however, ~0.0.1-1 matches 0.0.5 which might be counterintuitive and hence adding this example explicitly.

Thanks, the "leading zeroes with caret ranges" is definitely one of the finer points of semver that trip people up. Anything that adds clarification is probably a good idea. |
