Details:

At the moment find . -size -2G will not find a file which is 1Gb in size,
because of the rounding requirement (i.e. that find . -size -2 should not
match a 750 byte file).  The same rounding up works for -size arguments where
the multiplier is much larger.  The problem is that one would ordinarily
assume that "-size -2G" would match a 1.5Gb file.  Hence perhaps we should
introduce "-size <2G" which works the way the user might expect.
