   I'd suggest --before (<) and --since (>=), but I may be prejudiced by
exposure to VMS, where many commands use similar qualifiers.  (But if
you _like_ longer, more complicated option names, ...)

   It's that, or wait for someone else to do it.  You decide.

   I know that _I_ wasn't working on them.  I don't think that you need
any RFC's for this, mostly just code theft from other parts of the
program.  It could be an educational experience.  (I hate educational
experiences.)  If my experience is any guide, getting any changes into
the main development code may be more of a challenge than getting those
changes to work properly.
