The Zig language is under very active development. Ziglings will attempt to
be current, but not bleeding-edge. However, sometimes fundamental changes
will happen. Ziglings will check for a minimum version and build number
(which is this one: `0.x.x-dev.<build number>`) and exit if your version of
Zig is too old. It is likely that you'll download a build which is greater
than the number in the example shown above in this README. That's okay!

It is likely that you'll download a build which is _greater_ than the minimum.
