Hey friends,

Well, using this module, I stumbled apponed something annoying. Im planing of using int arguments for creating SQL queries. Now, one can type: 
--size=45

[download]
and there is no problem. However, one is probably wanna do < 45 or > 45 more often, but how to make this reality here? If I do: 
--size=>45

[download]
it would be neat, but it doesnt work since the shell thinks its redirecting and stuff. Ideas for this? I was thinking of something like: 
--size=45 --extra=gt

[download]
but that just complicates things... And is specially bad because of lot more typing...

One other way would to use string there instead of int, and parse that. (This is probably the way I will go, if noone comes up with something revolutionary :) ) Like: 
--size=gt45

[download]
but that doesnt look too intuitive...

What would you, as a user, prefer? :)

Thanks,
Ace
