Based on my knowledge of the matplotlib codebase and the issue requirements, I can provide the patch. The issue asks for adding a `__version_info__` tuple to matplotlib's toplevel for easy version comparison.
In matplotlib, `__version__` is defined in `lib/matplotlib/__init__.py` and is imported from `matplotlib._version` (which is generated by setuptools_scm or similar). The version string follows semantic versioning like "3.5.0" or "3.5.0rc1".
The solution is to:
1. Parse the `__version__` string into a tuple
2. Expose it as `__version_info__` at the top level
Here's the patch:
