+\r
+Well, it does say "for example" and "things like" for since: and until:,\r
+and it's not like the TODO is a strict spec anyway. All of the\r
+functionality is there. You can use "date:2009-01-01.." or\r
+"date:..2009-01-01" and the other endpoint is implicit (since Xapian\r
+1.2.1). Relative specification of time is there. Subjectively, with a\r
+sane syntax too. And it's all documented.\r
