That's intentional. Both 3.6.1 and 3.6.2 installed in "v3.6"
(superseding any 3.6.0 installation), and 3.7.1 will carry on this
tradition by installing in "v3.7" (superseding any 3.7.0 installation).
This is also reflected in the beta directory names, except that "-beta"
is added to the directory name so that during beta phase the 3.7.0
installation won't be touched yet.

Generally, 3.7 is _not_ an alias for 3.7.0, but rather a generic moniker
for any version from 3.7.0 to 3.7.9.

(An exception is the `#version` directive, where `3.7` is shorthand for
`3.70`, which identifies 3.7.0.)
