I'll certainly grant that, insofar as the written order is backwards
from the execution order. I think the "ago" is that part that bugs me
the most. It's too clever. I could live with "2.days", but I'd prefer
"days(2)" since that looks like a type constructor, and "days" isn't a
property of 2. Maybe "2.toDays()", but at that point I'd still rather
just do the simpler "days(2)".
If you don't have "ago" how would you determine the differences compared
to the opposite, which looks like this in Ruby on Rails:
time = 2.days.from_now
"2" is the duration, "days" is the unit and ago/from_now indicates if
it's positive or negative.
