Using the standard library, how do a get number of hours or

Phobos functions.
You can get a duration by subtracting two timestamps. For
example:
auto delta = (Clock.currTime - timeStamp).total!"seconds";
As per the documentation this is wrong for anything beyond a
few weeks.
Although I have no idea if that's the case implementation wise.
Actually I want a weak approximation. So 1 yr 6 months will be
recorded as 1yr or better still the actually date. Just want to
make it easy to determine "how long ago" for all recent data at
client side.
