Hello, I have a question about how to get Require to require a package in a certain branch rather than a specific version. Can I require that a package start with a certain version, but be any version within that branch? For instance, I want to require version 1.1 and let 1.1, 1.1.0, 1.1.1 satisfy the requirement (but not 1.2, say). Is this possible? I know that you can specify a version number in a Require header using '=' (e.g., "Require: package = 1.1"), but this specifies an *exact* version number. I also know you can use any version at or after a certain version using '>=', but that means 1.2 from the previous example also works, and I don't want that.
