New description:
Discussed [https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/django-developers
/pEaX5X-wpWo here]. The timesince function is a bit limiting as it is
right now. A `depth` parameter should be added to configure how many
values are shown. The depth parameter should be defaulted to 2 as this is
how the current implementation behaves. The existing rule of values having
to be adjacent to one another should still remain.
The logic for calculating the time since, before formatting should also be
pulled out of the function and placed in its own so that custom
implementations can be created.
For example:
With a depth of one it should always display as "1 week" or "3 years" etc.
With a depth of two: "1 week, 3 days" or "3 years, 7 months"
With a depth of three: "1 week, 3 days, 5 hours" or "3 years, 7 months, 2
weeks"
