I'm not sure you missed this mail, but just in case :

I have to side with Aaron here, actually, I'm just going to quote what he
said :
"That said, if someone wants to add in support for > and < comparators,
I wouldn't complain. It just sounds like "feature creep" to me - it's
solving a problem no one encounters on a day to day basis."

That is, I don't find it very useful either, but since it doesn't add much
code, it's not a big deal.
