## @deftypefn {Function File} {} compare_versions (@var{v1}, @var{v2}, @var{operator})
## Compare two version strings using the given @var{operator}.
##
## This function assumes that versions @var{v1} and @var{v2} are
## arbitrarily long strings made of numeric and period characters
## possibly followed by an arbitrary string (e.g., @qcode{"1.2.3"},
## @qcode{"0.3"}, @qcode{"0.1.2+"}, or @qcode{"1.2.3.4-test1"}).
##
## The version is first split into numeric and character portions
## and then the parts are padded to be the same length (i.e., @qcode{"1.1"}
## would be padded to be @qcode{"1.1.0"} when being compared with
## @qcode{"1.1.1"}, and separately, the character parts of the strings are
## padded with nulls).
##
## The operator can be any logical operator from the set
##
## @itemize @bullet
## @item
## @qcode{"=="}
## equal
##
## @item
## @qcode{"<"}
## less than
##
## @item
## @qcode{"<="}
## less than or equal to
##
## @item
## @qcode{">"}
## greater than
##
## @item
## @qcode{">="}
## greater than or equal to
##
## @item
## @qcode{"!="}
## not equal
##
## @item
## @qcode{"~="}
## not equal
## @end itemize
##
## Note that version @qcode{"1.1-test2"} will compare as greater than
## @qcode{"1.1-test10"}.  Also, since the numeric part is compared first,
## @qcode{"a"} compares less than @qcode{"1a"} because the second string
## starts with a numeric part even though @code{double ("a")} is greater than
## @code{double ("1").}
## @end deftypefn
