 You can already do this using a command like
 [ -n "$(find "$file" -prune -newermt '4 days ago')" ]
 This can also be adapted to compare access, inode change and inode birth
 (UFS2) times.
 
 Yet another way is to touch(1) a temporary file and then use the -nt or
 -ot primaries in test(1) with that.
