Research direction
The issue concerns the R_BIOC_VERSION environment variable and asks for "devel" and "release" as alternatives to release numbers. Locate the code that reads and validates this variable, then verify that both shorthands are accepted while existing release-number handling remains unchanged.
Written by the indexing model from the issue text.
Description
Would it be possible to allow these two common shorthands instead of only release numbers please?
