Query Filter "In the next". Is it missing?

In the Web App Builder Query Widget, there is a filter option for "in the past X units of time".  We want to filter for dates that fall "in the next X units of time".  Why would that option not be included.  All it requires is adding the time difference instead of subtracting.  

Now I am looking at a work around, Why would a future looking query not be as important as a historical query?

Richard,

   It would seem pretty uncommon to have future dates in most situations so it have just not been added to the code base.

Hi Robert,

A great use case is expiration dates.  Some assets, all leases, and other real world things have expiration dates that get set when the objects is created.  If an idea does not yet exist I will create one on the ideas page.

That is the right route to get this added.
