`direnv help` for `version VERSION_AT_LEAST` is annoyingly misleading

Describe the bug This bug is minor and seems to have been around forever, but seems worth filing/fixing.
To Reproduce
direnv help includes:
version [VERSION_AT_LEAST]:
prints the version or checks that direnv is older than VERSION_AT_LEAST.where "older than" pretty much contradicts "VERSION_AT_LEAST".
Expected behavior This should say something like "... or checks that direnv is VERSION_AT_LEAST or newer".
Environment
- Direnv version: 2.37.1
Additional context
The main reason this is not a PR is that I haven't figured out what docs need updating when this string is changed.
