This is actually guix/import/utils.scm.  :-)

That’s intimidating.  :-)

Since there’s currently a single user, the Crate importer, I would
rather have semver-handling directly in (guix import crate).  Sure we
can try to write it in a way that clearly separates semver handling from
Crate-specific bits, but we shouldn’t try to make it too generic at this
point, IMO.

WDYT?

The <crate> and <crate-version> records provide the information needed
to implement what you have in mind, I think.

Thanks,
Ludo’.
