This is understood similarly to the `==` syntax, but also allows prefixing any
specifiers that are valid in `pyproject.toml`. For example:

```shell
poetry add django@^4.0.0
```

The above would translate to the following entry in `pyproject.toml`:
```toml
Django = "^4.0.0"
```

The special keyword `latest` is also understood by the `@` operator:
```shell
poetry add django@latest
```

The above would translate to the following entry in `pyproject.toml`, assuming the latest release of `django` is `4.0.5`:
```toml
Django = "^4.0.5"
```

#### Extras

Extras and `@` can be combined as one might expect (`package[extra]@version`):

```shell
poetry add django[bcrypt]@^4.0.0
```
