The way it used to work it didn't matter if REV was even REV, it
just stripped the leading part that matched then took the longer
if one was null.  It's possible Phil has changed this.

Is used to be so:
    0.99.5 < 0.99.5.sackofpotatoes
things only get confusing when comparing:
    0.99.5.sackofpotatoes to 0.99.5.basketoffruit.
