Follicule filtering for wordcount/numeric elements

[abreal-badger]

Ao3 pages contain a variety of numeric elements related to a work: wordcount, kudos, hits, bookmarks, as well as more complex numeric thingies like the date a work was updated.

In the filter UI, these elements are generally filtered on a 'from/to' range, letting the user filter by lower and upper bounds.

From a follicule standpoint, filtering could be implemented via less-than/greater-than buttons for numeric elements that feed into this from/to interface.

The hidden search operators reference mentions that range-based syntax works for 'words, hits, kudos, comments, and bookmarks', with the following options:

words:1000 (works with exactly 1000 words)
words>1000 (works with more than 1000 words)
words<1000 (works with less than 1000 words)
words:1000-5000 (works between 1000 and 5000 words)

Since we're only working with one value per follicule, between doesn't make sense to implement; this suggests a < | = | > three-button UI, indicating 'works with less than N words', 'works with exactly N words', and 'works with more than N words'.

General implementation notes:

element, class 'stats' contains all numeric elements as

elements, with classnames as 'words', 'hits', 'kudos', 'comments', and 'bookmarks'.

Addn: use title attributes on buttons to give contextual information like 'works with less than N words' - if I had to look that up, so is the end user.
