I'm a bit confused then. The description for the "any"
type includes:

- Segments are compared in order, and
a %d segment is always smaller than a %s segment 
- The instance with fewer segments is
smaller if the compared segments are equal 

How does this work if the "any"
type doesn't have segment delimiters? Also the examples have:

any:[1.2,2]

Which looks to me like "."
is a segment delimiter.
