### Stub versioning

You can use checks
like `if sys.version_info >= (3, 8):` to denote new functionality introduced
like `if sys.version_info >= (3, 12):` to denote new functionality introduced
in a given Python version or solve type differences. When doing so, only use
two-tuples. Because of this, if a given functionality was
introduced in, say, Python 3.7.4, your check:
introduced in, say, Python 3.11.4, your check:

* should be expressed as `if sys.version_info >= (3, 7):`
* should NOT be expressed as `if sys.version_info >= (3, 7, 4):`
* should NOT be expressed as `if sys.version_info >= (3, 8):`
* should be expressed as `if sys.version_info >= (3, 11):`
* should NOT be expressed as `if sys.version_info >= (3, 11, 4):`
* should NOT be expressed as `if sys.version_info >= (3, 12):`

When your stub contains if statements for different Python versions,
always put the code for the most recent Python version first.
