Well, it is documented in the manual:
---------------------
The number can be prefixed with a `+' or a `-'. A plus sign
indicates that the test should succeed if the file uses at least N
units of storage (a common use of this test) and a minus sign
indicates that the test should succeed if the file uses less than
N units of storage. There is no `=' prefix, because that's the
default anyway.
---------------------
Any suggestions on making it even more explicit?
