CRAN already has a package named "FuzzyNumbers.Ext.2", whose tarball is
FuzzyNumbers.Ext.2_3.2.tar.gz, so I think we've already lost that game.

I suppose technically 2 is a valid version number for a package (?) so I

all I can really say is that in p...

Won't it be better to have a convention that allows lowercase, dash,
underscore and dot as only valid characters for new package names and keep

vary according to the parameter value,
