Description
This prints true:
c, _ := semver.NewConstraint("2")
v, _ := semver.NewVersion("2.2.3")
fmt.Println(c.Check(v))
While this prints false:
c, _ := semver.NewConstraint("2.2")
v, _ := semver.NewVersion("2.2.3")
fmt.Println(c.Check(v))
Is that intentional? If not I can fire off a PR.

Research direction
Start by reproducing both Go snippets and tracing how partial constraints are parsed and checked; the issue names no source files or tests. Before changing behavior, confirm with maintainers whether the difference is intentional. Done means the intended semantics are decided and consistently implemented, with regression coverage for both examples.
