-    The syntax of a requirement specifier can be defined in EBNF as follows::
-
-        requirement  ::= project_name extras? versionspec?
-        versionspec  ::= comparison version (',' comparison version)*
-        comparison   ::= '<' | '<=' | '!=' | '==' | '>=' | '>' | '~=' | '==='

-        identifier   ::= [-A-Za-z0-9_]+
-        version      ::= [-A-Za-z0-9_.]+

-    Tokens can be separated by whitespace, and a requirement can be continued
-    over multiple lines using a backslash (``\\``).  Line-end comments (using
