Title: Let's use caret requirements (^) instead of tilde requirements (~)

Supposing that cargos use the semantic versioning, caret requirements(^) is the perfect default option to show since tilde requirements(~) can be somewhat unnecessarily strict.

I think most people will use caret instead of tilde. Why don't we show caret?
