Applied.
The scope for problems in this bit of the code seems quite high. I fixed
two more issues. :-)
The check on using the new syntax was not quite right. The problem is
how we represent >= in terms of UnionVersionRanges (EarlierVersion v)
(ThisVersion v). For example this dep violated the check: ">= 1 && < 2"
I also fixed the pretty printer to respect operator precedence.
