"n use" and "n bin" should work with partial version numbers

[callumlocke]

To install the latest 0.10.* version, you can just do $ n 0.10. You don't need to know the latest patch number.

But if you try to do $ n use 0.10 ... or n bin 0.10, it says Error: 0.10 is not installed, even if you have several 0.10.* versions installed.

It would be cool if n use and n bin could just figure out the highest installed matching version, and use that.

I am looking into doing something like this. See #192.

I also think the way you can install without a wildcard need to be changed to be more in line with other node tools which want a wildcard..

I wonder if is better to use the highest already installed version, or to look up the latest version number on mirror? The latest installed version would save a lookup and avoids failing if local is not latest, but the mirror version is more consistent with install, and how codenames (like lts) behave with bin and use.

Either would be a convenience.

This issue has not had any activity in over six months. It isn't likely to get acted on due to this report. Although I do like the idea, and likely to do it at some point anyway!

Feel free to open a new issue if it comes up again, with new information and renewed interest.

Thank you for your contributions.
