// 1. "compatible-with" - A@x.y.z - constraints package A to version x.y.z or
//    higher, as long as the version is backwards compatible with x.y.z.
//    "pick A compatible with x.y.z"
//    It is the default type.
// 2. "exactly" - A@=x.y.z - constraints package A only to version x.y.z and
//    nothing else.
//    "pick A exactly at x.y.z"
// 3. "any-reasonable" - "A"
//    Basically, this means any version of A ... other than ones that have
//    dashes in the version (ie, are prerelease) ... unless the prerelease
//    version has been explicitly selected (which at this stage in the game
//    means they are mentioned in a top-level constraint in the top-level
