Here we have two methods of Language (formatTimePeriod() and formatDuration())
whose names mean pretty much the same thing. When to choose one over the other
should be documented.
From what I can tell, the former supports abbreviating units and two specific
strategies to avoid showing unnecessary units, yet the latter allows
fine-grained control over which units to use (though does not allow
abbreviation). However, it's unclear whether there are contexts in which one
would be appropriate yet the other would not.
