Now that you've laid them out, I think option #1 sounds best. Having to
specify a minorversion is a departure from the current interface, and
probably more effort than it's worth.

The behavior in #1 also seems the most intuitive if we're going to keep
the ability to accept a value that doesn't have a minorversion.
