Description

Hello, for example I want to support any version of 3.22 , without the need to update each patch version, maybe minor.

"flutter": "3.22.*",

Syntax like versions in pubspec or composer syntax

Then you can install any of the range valid versions in the project.

This is mostly to save disk space and not have versions 3.x.1, 3.x.2, 3.x.N installed.

If each project can use any valid range, it prevents everyone from having to update each project in each patch/minor update to remove the previous minor version from the disk.

Thanks
