function Get-VersionPSObject {
<#
.SYNOPSIS
    Parse a function into a semver compatible version object instead of the naive .NET implementation.
    The .NET implementation existed before the semver formalization, so it does not implement all of the same properties/metadata concepts.
    While a third-party library may exist that neatly handles these edge-cases, we do not use those in PowerShell due to availability concerns.

.PARAMETER Version
    [string] The value to parse.
