import java.math.BigInteger;
import java.util.Comparator;
import java.util.regex.Pattern;

A comparator that compares file names semantically, just like the Windows Explorer.

Desired semantic ordering:

version-1
version-2
version-10

Undesired, lexicographic ordering:

version-1
version-10
version-2
