I agree, string< seems sufficient. I'm used to doing the double-digit thing in
lots of places on my system, and would be surprised by a more "intelligent"
ordering, actually. However, a customization variable might be a good thing,
since we have precedent for version< in other places. Just:

    (defcustom some-long-name #'string<
        <making version< an option>
