[bv-dev] @Past(orPresent=true) -> @PastOrPresent?

[Emmanuel Bernard]

My argument against is that @Past / @Future could need additional options: like maybe past per year or month instead of instant time. I understand we do use the type structure to extract that information.
Is there potential options people can think of around time constraints?

For @Positive/@Negative, we decided there were none.
