`compiler-version` does not work with default value

Reproduction:

pragma solidity ^0.4.0;

contract Foo {}

{
  "rules": { "compiler-version": "error" }
}

Expected

Use default value for the compiler version (^0.5.8)

Result

  1:1  error  Compiler version ^0.4.0 does not satisfy the r semver requirement  compiler-version

Adding square bracket to the rule ("compiler-version": ["error"]) works as expected.

This is a bug; I wish I knew enough to fix it. This: pragma solidity ^0.8.7; yields simple_storage.sol:2:1: Error: Compiler version ^0.8.7 does not satisfy the r semver requirement but this: pragma solidity ^0.8.7.0; will not throw an error.

just add the compiler version to .solhint.json

  "rules": {
    "compiler-version": ["error", "^0.7.3"]
  }

also, are you sure you want to run 0.4.0 solidity version in 2020/2021?
