The argument "can't you just put it in your code?" can be applied to many
things in the standard library. I have needed the functionality several times
in different programs, so considering that it is not trivial to do correctly, I
think it should be in the standard library. Also, there is more than just `dur`
- I think it should also be supported by the short-hand functions (`seconds`
etc.), as well as `convert` and `Duration.total` (or some other way to get back
a FP value from a Duration).
