! -newer: no way to distinguish between "same age" and "older"

There is find -newer and find ! -newer, but there is no way to
distinguish between "same age" and "older", without leaving find.

So either add new functionality, or explain how one does it in the
manual.

ok one must probably do -exec test -ot file \; or
! -newer file -exec test -ot file \; to not exec unnecessarily on each file.
