[r6rs-discuss] Library version numbers

6.1.

As far as I understand it, it's possible to specify conditions in
version references only in each subversion field separately.

For example it's not possible to say "version (3 n) for n>=2 or
version (m n) for m>=4" (i.e. "3.2 or newer"), nor even "(3 2 . m)
for any tail m".

Perhaps I misunderstood how version numbers would typically be used in
practice. But wouldn't it be better if "and" and "or" were applicable
to version conditions as a whole, rather than individual subversion
fields?
