Good to know.

I'm not sure, I'm a little surprised that they do, but it may be
the preprocessing that the hacky approxidate wrapper (for
rt:1.month.ago..) somehow smooths things over a bit...

I'm sleepy now and head hurts from trying to figure out some
-cindex bugs :x, so maybe I missed some things.

I do recommend --stdin for more complex queries, and I just
posted a patch which should let it work better for terminals
(not just pipes/regular files):
