I don't see the advantage over writing r >= 13.
It's not useful for a programming language to have multiple ways of
writing the exact same thing. Of course, any language does have
multiple ways of doing some things, but there is should always be a
reason for it. I don't see a reason for this one.
For what it's worth, I'm not familiar with the "a 99+" notation. I
would not know what that meant without an explanation.
