Description
As far as I tested, the zero value of semver.Version represents 0.0.0, which is a valid semver version, but is it safe to use this value?
It is possible that the value looks like 0.0.0 but its internal representation is somehow in uninitialized state and thus it is unsafe to use the zero value.
The document says nothing about it.
