So I take it you like the idea of using the x.y.9x numbers for
alpha/beta/rc/whatever-you-want-to-call-it?

I was thinking about this again, and it doesn't quite follow your ideal
of the version number being completely unambiguous. With Octave 5.0.0,
if I remember right, you are planning on tagging 5.1.0 as a release,
then immediately incrementing the version to 5.1.1 for stable bug fixes.
So there will be exactly one revision in the hg history that has a
version number of 5.1.0.

Do you think it's important to do the same for release candidates? IOW,
should there be exactly one revision in the hg history when the version
number is 4.3.90?
