User-requested audit of naive [package versions] selection: punk::apps'
appinfo 'latest' used a plain lexical lsort (misorders 1.10 vs 1.9) AND
took lindex 0 - the LOWEST version - as latest (the '#todo - natsort!'
site). Now lsort -command {package vcompare} taking the highest, with
empty (unversioned-main) entries excluded before comparison since
vcompare errors on empty operands; only-unversioned yields latest "".
Audit sweep results: every other punk-owned consumer already sorts with
vcompare (punk::lib repl/udp checks, libunknown, repl autocomplete,
loadedlib copy/promote, punk_main/project_main starkit selection - the
latter even carries the 'package versions does not always return
versions in increasing order!' warning comment); packagepreference's
uses are mappings/exact-pins, not max-picks. Naive sorts remain only in
VENDORED third-party code (tcllib doctools docidx/doctoc/doctools.tcl,
vendormodules pattern-1.2.8.tm:267) - flagged, not edited, per the
vendorlib no-edit policy. Project 0.18.9.
