Hi,

> – Dave Sweeris' point about this reading wrong in English as .upToNextMajor("x.y.z") (vs. of "x.y.z".upToNextMajor) makes sense to us too. As a result, we're going to clarify this by changing it to .upToNextMajor(after:"x.y.z") and .upToNextMinor(after:"x.y.z").


The "after" in .upToNextMajor(after: "x.y.z") sounds like we're going to pick the version after `x.y.z`, for e.g. `x.y.(z+1)`, and go upto the next major version. I think we should use `from` instead of `after`, which is more clear IMO. It also feels like `after` and `from` (in shorthand) do different things, and if we use `form`, it will also be reasonable to assume that the `.package(url:from:)` is a shorthand form.
