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.
