Where I have exactly the same question: `-mtime` argument is still numeric (now without “mostly” if I am not mistaking) and short. And _dates is not used anywhere else as far as I see, `ag` finds it only in `/usr/share/zsh/5.2/functions/Completion/Zsh/_globquals` and `/usr/share/zsh/5.2/functions/Completion/Unix/_find` when searching in `/usr/share/zsh`.

Also I cannot find `_dates` in `man zshall`, so developers probably will not use it in third-party completions. Especially given that it is the same directory with _find (which means that without looking at the source code of that file and without knowing about `-mtime` completion one will think that there is `dates` *nix command, unless I am missing something and there is a list of helper functions anywhere outside of man pages, generated automatically because `ag` cannot find it in zsh git repository).
