RichUnits also includes a Duration class (inspired by Matthew H.’
version) for storing time measures. These measure were originally stored
as Integer seconds. The Duration class instead stores the seconds as an
attribute and adds a an optional segements property which can be used
to select exactly how to segment up the time period (years, week, days,
etc.).

If you have contributed to this code and feel you deserve mention in the
copyright notice, please let us know. Since this code has been through a
number of hands and other projects (Facets and ActiveSupport among them)
it is hard to identify exactly who is responsible for what. Nonetheless,
Rich Kilmer is the initiator of the whole idea, so I figure much of the
