    Disallow wildcards and operators when spec is old · 2afbd0e1

    Do this already in the Parsec instance parser.
    This allows removing checks from `D.PD.Check`.
    Later this would also allow removing non-relevant
    constructors from `VersionRange`, allowing easier testing.
    
    This change causes 10% slowdown: from

    I hope the slowdown is acceptable, and I have an idea which may mitigate
    this. I'll try out it after I done further refactorings.
    
    Note how (parser) warnings grew by a factor. There are plenty of (old)
    files on Hackage, which don't use correct cabal-version.  For that
    reason we only issue warnings, and not fail.  Quirks approach won't
    scale for these. In comparison, there are even more files
    with check warnings
