 New Comment:

Documenting all ValueErrors is work in progress[1].

It also needs to be documented that abbreviations of the allowed
operators are also supported; an empty string is the abbreviation
of '<'; or maybe that is a bug?

Description:
------------
The documentation (just recently updated to include the information about version_compare returning
null on an invalid comparison operator in prior versions, from doc bug #77838), doesn't mention
the new behavior of the function in 8.0.0: it throws ValueError instead.

This also should possibly be mentioned as an incompatible change in the migration to 8.0.0 document.
