No, but I think it's nice for those who don't know that c-u g does
display the raw article (you have to look in the sources to know this)
to see the shortcut in the menu. (There is already a menu entry for raw
article and it's one of the *very* few without a shortcut.)

Well, my thought was older than -2 days means younger than 2 and younger
than -2 means older than two. (When I first used /t I wanted articles
younger than x days and was very surprised that -x did nor have the
affect I wanted.)

In fact that doesn't remove the C-u support but adds a second
option. Once again: A negative argument didn't do anything before and it
just seems logical to me to replace younger with older and vice-versa
if a negative argument is specified.
