It looks like the normalization is hosed.
This method, for the nth time, does not convert between units which do not have a fixed conversion rate.
Whooo, I seem to have missed the bus here. Wasn't the entire point of ->in_units so people would stop bitching about the other accessors not doing what they had been trained to expect? How is ->in_units possibly useful otherwise?
It will convert between _convertible_ units:
years <=> months weeks <=> days hours <=> minutes seconds <=> nanoseconds
I for one am getting really tired of all the complaints about DT::Duration. Why don't we just add a bunch of accessors, with really verbose names, that return deltas relative to 0000-01-01T00:00:00 and document the hell out of the fact that this is what's going on. e.g.
Something like that sounds reasonable.
->estimated_years ->guessed_months ->imperfect_days, ->imprecise_hours ->loose_minutes, ->rough_seconds ->surmised_nanoseconds ->uncertain_years ->unprecise_months ->unscientific_days ->approximate_hours ->relative_minutes ->seconds_relative_to_0
The names need some work ;)
