Converting a Version instance into Different Types
==================================================
Sometimes it is needed to convert a :class:`~semver.version.Version` instance into
a different type. For example, for displaying or to access all parts.
It is possible to convert a :class:`~semver.version.Version` instance:
* Into a string with the builtin function :func:`str`::
>>> str(Version.parse("3.4.5-pre.2+build.4"))
'3.4.5-pre.2+build.4'
* Into a dictionary with :meth:`~semver.version.Version.to_dict`::
>>> v = Version(major=3, minor=4, patch=5)
>>> v.to_dict()
{'major': 3, 'minor': 4, 'patch': 5, 'prerelease': None, 'build': None}
* Into a tuple with :meth:`~semver.version.Version.to_tuple`::
>>> v = Version(major=5, minor=4, patch=2)
>>> v.to_tuple()
(5, 4, 2, None, None)
