Thanks to Stefan Hynek for pointing out to met what EXPath Package SemVer
Templates are [1], to that the EXPath Package spec defined something called
a SemVer template, to the participants in a Community Call [2] for helping
me wrap my head around them [3], and to @Adam Retter for the other fixes
and improvements to this release of semver.xq.

Joe
