Semver metadata not supported in Assembly Info Patching

So I found this really useful discussion about the ability to strip the dash and everything after it for assembly versions that don't support it. But I've run into a small problem with it.

I'm following the Semver guidelines on metadata associated with builds. This means that I should be able to do something like x.y.z+metadata. The problem is, the plus and everything after it is not stripped out, and assembly patching fails.

Short of doing something like the following (which I'm not sure event works), is there a solution to this?

environment:
    core_version: 0.16.4
  version: "$(core_version)+{branch}.{build}"
  branches:
    only:
      - master
  assembly_info:
    patch: true
    file: AssemblyInfo.*
    assembly_version: "$(core_version)"
    assembly_file_version: "$(core_version)"
    assembly_informational_version: "{version}"

   Ok, so that does work, but it leaves me with the rather messy $(core_version)+master.7 as the build version number :(

   You mean $(core_version) is not expanded?

   Yeah, that's correct. It means every reference to it in the UI looks rather unhelpful

   Could you drop a screenshot please?

   Ah, I see what you mean - environment variables are not expanded in build version. Let me see if that scenario could be easily supported.

   I've attached a screen shot if that helps too

   We've added support for environment variables in build version format - will deploy an update today.
