Filter and/or Symbolise features before/after TODAY()

It's been a while since anyone seems to have requested this. I'm setting up a simple feature service with points that show the location of Traffic Management Plans. Each point will have an expiry date. I'd like to be able to either:

A) Symbolise points as Current or Expired based on their expiry date (before/after TODAY)

B) Filter hosted views to only show features that are Current (Date is after TODAY) or Expired (Date is before TODAY)

The only way I can figure out how to filter like this is to use the "in the last" option and set a timeframe that exceeds the expected usage window for this data (i.e. 1000 years). Below is an example of the filter setup to show Expired features:

Surely a more elegant solution would be to simply have the option where DateField "is before Today" or "is after Today". I understand "Today" could be too course for some applications, and you might want it to be based on the current time as well, so maybe a "Now" option could be included for that level of detail.

I would also like the same functionality in the symbology. Currently it seems I can only group dates based on dates that already exist as attributes. A simple symbology arrangement where features a coloured one way or another based on the current date and time would be really useful in this situation where I still want to see all the features without the need for filtered hosted views. It essentially already exists (Before and after theme) but requires a set date as the dividing point.

Another simple option would be to have an "in the next" option that works the same was as "in the last", but for the future.
