[BUG] X-Range with Prerelease Ignores Prerelease

[WalkerCodeRanger]

Is there an existing issue for this?

• I have searched the existing issues

Current Behavior

A range like >=1.x.x-rc appears to ignore the -rc and be treated as equal to >=1.x.x. For example, it does not match the version 1.0.0-rc.1.

Expected Behavior

Since it isn't clear what prerelease versions >=1.x.x-rc should match, I think it should be an invalid range. If one really wanted to support it, then it would need to match multiple prerelease ranges (e.g. 1.0.0-rc, 1.0.5-rc, 1.5.6-rc, etc.).

Steps To Reproduce

As I am not a Node developer but rather a maintainer of a semver package for C# that needs to support npm style version ranges, I am using https://semver.npmjs.com/ to test. Simply put the listed versions into it.
