Is there any way to establish a date query relative to the current date? 
I understand I can query with an expression that includes an explicit 
date, but such queries make little sense when saved.

For example, I might wish to see every PR that arrived today. If I 
construct a query using today's date and save it (using the Gnatsweb 
"cookie" feature), I can't use the same query tomorrow to show me the 
PRs that arrived that day. Instead, I have to construct a new query each 
day.

I'd like to be able to specify a date like -5 -- meaning five days prior 
to today (-0 would mean today).
