*IMO*: The problem with that latter example is just (what I see as) some
unfortunate choices for naming and such. Alter it like this:

now() - days(2)

And I think that's no longer overly verbose, has great clarity, and
does so without feeling too cute or magical.

Of course, like I said before, I could live with 2.days.ago, but it's
not really what I'd prefer.
