Description

Let's assume the following scenario:

c1, _ := semver.NewConstraint(">=1.4.0")
c2, _ := semver.NewConstraint("^1")

res, _ := c2.Satisfies(c1)

With the current APIs, it seems that achieving this is not possible.

@mattfarina, if it’s feasible, could you please provide some guidance on whether this can be done with the existing package? I’m happy to contribute to this change if you can share how the package currently parses version ranges as I have very less idea about this.

Research direction

Start with semver.NewConstraint and the existing Constraint.Satisfies API, then trace how the package parses version ranges. Determine whether the requested subset relationship can be supported with the current APIs; done means the feasible approach and expected behavior are agreed and covered by the package.
