\begin{Description}\relax
This class maintains a version number and provides
appropriate operations to manipulate it
\end{Description}
\begin{Section}{Objects from the Class}
VersionNumber objects should be created with the function buildVersionNumber.

\describe{
\item[\code{stringRep}:] Object of class \code{"character"}, string
representation of the version (e.g. "1.2.3")
}
