Comment (by AaronCampbell):

 I think it would be nice to also allow not only a meta_value to be
 specified, but a meta_compare ('=', '>', '>=', '<', or '<=') that would
 let the user get posts where the meta_value is greater than ____.  It
 would be used like this:
 {{{
 $args = array(
         'meta_key'      => 'wpo_feedid',
         'orderby'       => 'wpo_feedid',
         'meta_value'    => '2',
         'meta_compare'  => '<'
                           );
 $myQuery = new WP_Query($args);
 }}}

 My patch doesn't currently allow for ranges (> ? AND < ?), but it works
 pretty well to allow just a single choice.  It also depends on this patch,
 so I was wondering if I should start a new ticket, or modify this one.
 I'm adding 7431.002.diff as a patch that includes this (it's inclusive of
 the 001 patch, so only 002 is needed).  If it should be in another ticket,
 just let me know.
