> Documentation states that it returns true if the file is *after* cutoff... but the code does opposite!
> {code}
>     /**
>      * Returns a filter that returns true if the file was last modified after
>      * the specified cutoff time.
>      */
> {code}
> BUT..the code constructs the following:
> {code}
>     public static IOFileFilter ageFileFilter(long cutoff) {
>         return new AgeFileFilter(cutoff);
>     }
> {code}
> And the Javadoc for this AgeFileFilter says...OLDER i.e. before
> {code}
>     /**
>      * Constructs a new age file filter for files equal to or older than
>      * a certain cutoff
>      *
>      * @param cutoff  the threshold age of the files
>      */
> {code}
> Which is it?!
