+Add public class variable :data:`Version.NAMES <semver.version.Version.NAMES>`.
+
+This class variable contains a tuple of strings that contains the names of
+all attributes of a Version (like ``"major"``, ``"minor"`` etc).
+
+In cases we need to have dynamical values, this makes it easier to iterate.
