### Is "v1.2.3" a semantic version?
No, "v1.2.3" is not a semantic version. However, prefixing a semantic version
with a "v" is a common way (in English) to indicate it is a version number.
Abbreviating "version" as "v" is often seen with version control. Example:
`git tag v1.2.3 -m "Release version 1.2.3"`, in which case "v1.2.3" is a tag
name and the semantic version is "1.2.3".
