Version ranges not supported for parent artifacts

It would be great if Maven supports version ranges when specifying parent artifacts in a multi-module build. Currently this does not work.

<parent>
<artifactId>artifactId</artifactId>
<groupId>groupId</groupId>
<version>[2.0, 2.0.1]</version>
</parent>

[INFO] Scanning for projects...
Downloading: [2.0, 2.0.1]/artifactId-[2.0, 2.0.1].pom" class="external-link">http://repo1.maven.org/maven2/groupId/artifactId/[2.0, 2.0.1]/artifactId-[2.0, 2.0.1].pom

Additionally it would be great if this

<parent>
<artifactId>artifactId</artifactId>
<groupId>groupId</groupId>
<version>[2.0, $

]/artifactId-[2.0, $

].pom

would also work, if the version is specified in the same pom.xml which defines this parent definition.
