Nice little script, though, Colin. Much more efficient than
the one I worked out in my head using the days-between.sh
script in the ABS guide.

Never seen a bash script that reminded me so much of C.
Didn't realize you could do that with bash.

But I can't find a reference to "\<" in man bash. It's
not a typo, because the script works fine.

It appears to be a synonym for "<=", which also works,
but is that all it is? Would ">/" == "=>" too? I can't
think of a way to test that one off the top of my head.
