Description
PEP 0440 details support for [Developmental Releases](https://peps.python.org/pep-0440/#developmental-releases)
The checker should _probably_ support those akin to how pre releases are currently supported.
The expected behavior would be that `1.0.0-beta.7-dev.1` would be > `1.0.0-beta.7`. However, with the current checker, this appears to be flagged as the same version.
TBH im a bit uncertain if this is a feature vs. a bug. On one hand, it's nice to flag dev releases as _not_ a significant enough change. But on the other hand, it should be a valid incremental bump for pip installs to navigate afaik 🤔
Needs some thought & triage before outright tackling i think.

Research direction
Start by reviewing the checker's existing pre-release comparison behavior alongside the PEP 440 developmental-release rules. Confirm how `1.0.0-beta.7-dev.1` should compare with `1.0.0-beta.7`, then define and test the intended behavior before implementing it.
