Description

For example, often, libraries can depend on spring 2.5 or spring 3.x and the only way is to have two separate list of features.
A range would allow selecting one or the other.

The default behavior would be:

• if no version is indicated, it means [0, +oo)
• if a version is indicated, the range is closed [x, x]
• if a feature matching the range is already installed, use that one
• else find the highest version matching the range
