Hi @jmi2k! Thanks for your contribution, very much appreciated. 👍 🚀

Your implementation looks good, I only have two wishes to complete it:

1. Amend the documentation.
   The documentation should explain this new functionality too. You could add it to the section Comparing Versions through an Expression. Find the source code in docs/usage/compare-versions-through-expression.rst.
   Could you amend the doc and add a short example? Bonus points if you could give or explain the differences to Version.parse("a.b.c") == Version.parse("d.e.f"). What approach do we want to recommend to our developers? (The Zen of Python, states, "There should be one-- and preferably only one --obvious way to do it.")
2. Create a changelog entry
   Add a short snippet which explains your addition (also mentioning this pull request number). You can find the details how to create such an entry in the section Adding a Changelog Entry.

Many thanks!

First of all, thanks for the in-depth response! I highly appreciate it, as I was kinda lost about how to add that changelog entry.

Now I think I have everything in place. The rationale behind this change is that I'm building a plugin dependency system for some in-house tool, and as you will know for sure it's pretty common to specify just the version as an exact dependency. As for now, I've written code around the match to patch the equality operator in when no operator is provided, but I feet like it's more elegant for the library to handle that case too (as the changes required were minimal).

If you think I should change anything else, please don't hesitate to tell me!

Thanks @jmi2k, for your additions! Now the PR is complete and I'll merge it to the default branch.

Many thanks! In case you find more things to improve, don't hesitate to open an issue or pull request. 🙂
