sfind supports -maxdepth/-mindepth since a year and this is a BSD
invention.
BTW: GNU find also demonstrated that people do not think about a useful
ergonomic CLI before implementing.
GNU find's added a rather useless -mmin option in addition to -mtime
instead of just implementing a clean and useful extension to -mtime
sfind allows to write:
sfind . -mtime -3w10h3m
to find files newer than 3weeks + 10 hours + 3 minutes.
