ActiveSupport monkeypatches `Numeric` to add time-related functionality (see activesupport/lib/active_support/core_ext/numeric/time.rb <https://github.com/rails/rails/blob/master/activesupport/lib/active_support/core_ext/numeric/time.rb>), giving you some nice sugar for working with time, e.g.:
1.second 2.hours 3.days 4.months 5.years At the moment, there's an `#in_milliseconds` method which converts a number of seconds to a number of milliseconds (e.g. `5.in_milliseconds == 5000`). However, there isn't a `#milliseconds` monkeypatch. I can imagine this being useful for cases like `sleep(5.milliseconds)` or `expect(racing_car.last_repaired_at).to be_within(5.milliseconds).of(Time.zone.now)`. I'd be willing to build this; it should be a small change. What do people think? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Core" group.
