#71918: platforms syntax for indicating supported OS versions doesn't appear to
work

 Priority:  Normal      |  Milestone:
Component:  base        |    Version:  2.10.5
 Keywords:              |       Port:
------------------------+--------------------
 In #71475 I wanted to indicate that the nodejs22 port does not support Mac
 OS X 10.7.

 I tried to follow the example given in
 [28666188b01ef181a93b36b7468807ae558c5d3b/macports-base] which says:

 > Usage example: A port that works on Darwin versions between 16 and 22
 > inclusive, except for 18.2.x, and doesn't work on Linux:
 > {{{
 > platforms   {darwin >= 16 != 18.2.* < 23} {linux != *}
 > }}}

 I tried:

 {{{
 platforms               {darwin < 11 >= 12}
 }}}

 and:

 {{{
 platforms               {darwin < 11} {darwin >= 12}
 }}}

 Neither worked. Both resulted in the port setting `known_fail` to `yes` on
 all Darwin versions. I replaced the code with:

 {{{
 platform darwin 11 {
     known_fail          yes
 }
 }}}
