Compare identifier using #new_edition_of? #50

Closed mico closed 4 weeks ago

closes #49

In this implementation I only consider year to compare editions, numbers are ignored. Need clarification on edition numbers here https://github.com/metanorma/pubid-iso/issues/274

As I understand this PR makes pubid-core ignore edition numbers because ISO IDs don't have editions. I want to draw attention to fact that some standards have edition numbers in their IDs. For example IHO standards look like IHO S-100 1.0.0 where 1.0.0 is an edition number. Shouldn't we implement ISO specific behavior in pubid-iso?

This PR ignore edition numbers when comparing identifiers using #new_edition_of? it doesn't affect anything else. The reason — I still don't understand how we should compare edition numbers. ISO have edition numbers, it was mentioned in https://github.com/metanorma/pubid-iso/issues/274

But as I understand different publishers might have different approach to edition number, so we can implement separate implementation (or extension) of #new_edition_of? for each specific pubid-* gem where edition numbers need to be considered for comparison.
