<p dir="auto">I haven't researched it, but chances are it's been requested and denied before.</p>

<p dir="auto">You already linked to at least one case above, where Neil made his suggestion.</p>
<blockquote>
<p dir="auto">The earlier suggestion was really no worse than the version parsing you'll find in Lexilla's development scripts:<br>
or Scintilla's:</p>
</blockquote>
<p dir="auto">Interesting, perhaps Neil intends to never let versions get above one digit any more.  Maybe check if its specified anywhere, or ask him to confirm if not?</p>
<p dir="auto">Well then perhaps your <code>sed -e 's/\(.\)\(.\)/\1.\2./' "$1"</code> is ok for now and see if Neil confirms single digit only.</p>
<p dir="auto">Having to edit the script is not really viable, might be ok for experienced experts like <a class="user-mention" data-hovercard-type="user" data-hovercard-url="/users/kugel-/hovercard" data-octo-click="hovercard-link-click" data-octo-dimensions="link_type:self" href="https://github.com/kugel-">@kugel-</a> but a first timer might not notice, so hope its going to be single digits forevermore.</p>

<p dir="auto">Ah!</p>

<p dir="auto">So how are those defines generated?  Can we steal it <g-emoji class="g-emoji" alias="smile" fallback-src="https://github.githubassets.com/images/icons/emoji/unicode/1f604.png">😄</g-emoji>?</p>
