Hello, 

while learning more about time-related features of find, I noticed that while
most such tests come in groups of three (for example 'atime', 'ctime',
'mtime'), there is no 'mnewer' to the existing 'anewer' and 'cnewer'. I have
been told
(https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/797076/why-does-find-have-the-tests-anewer-and-cnewer-but-not-mnewer)
that 'newer' fills that spot. But I would consider it useful to have 'mnewer'
as a synonym or alias of 'newer'. So I wanted to suggest that.

Greetings,

Henning
