I’m amending my proposal to be:
Then, starting from the end of the version string, the following trailing
"null" tokens are trimmed:
* “null” qualifier tokens ("", "final", "ga")
* 0 tokens, except for those that are sandwiched between two hyphens
with a numeric token immediately following the latter hyphen. Thus, e.g.:
1.-0.0-20 -> 1-0-20
1-0-rc-2 -> 1-rc-2
