PoolQ should use a versioning scheme like W.X.Y.Z. The W version for PoolQ 3.x should be considered 3; this represents a significant milestone in PoolQ implementation or functionality. The remaining X.Y.Z versions should follow a basic semver versioning scheme.

I propose this because the 3 version of PoolQ represented a significant and meaningful change in PoolQ. Making a major version change to PoolQ now and following semantic versioning would pose communication problems with collaborators or other users of PoolQ. Adding a W version lets us freeze that most-significant digit while allowing us to follow proper semantic versioning in all other ways.

Note, semver may not allow W.X.Y.Z but Haskell Package Versioning Policy does, and that policy may work for our needs. Notably, it is also supported by SBT.
