[pacman-dev] vercmp wildcards?

Just checking the sanity of an idea here:

What do you all think of supporting wildcards for version comparisons?
I was thinking fnmatch could almost be dropped in directly to
alpm_pkg_vercmp in place of the initial strcmp.

Use case:
readline version 6.0.003
bash depends readline=6.0.*

Thoughts?
