If saving six characters is so crucial, type ".0", ".1", and ".2". Massive productivity boost.
You could also drop the "." in this case, saving another three.
Even better: drop the number.
That's one step too far, though. There'd be no way to distinguish them without that number.
Oh, you were actually serious? I thought we're making dumb jokes here with claims of willy nilly dropping digits from a version number being significantly faster to type.
Well, semi-serious. Doing this to "save characters" is obviously silly, we've spent way more characters discussing how to save characters than could possibly have been saved (and it's not a valuable "savings" regardless). But I was paying attention to the practicality, because IMO the best silly things are things you can take seriously.
