1.21 to 1.211

So +190 increment is totally ok for you, but +1 sometimes "didn’t make sense". IT DOESN"T MAKE ANY SENSE! Oh, and you can use letters. 1.21 -> 1.21a looks MUCH more explanatory for your purposes than "+1 is too harsh increase, so I'll increase on 190!"

so I actually use various different systems depending on my mood that day.

maybe I add a dash, maybe I use another decimal, maybe I use alpha characters.

none of it matters because they're wiped out a few hours later
