Per my comments on the GSOC app, it looks good, but I'd like to see some
"stretch goals" if you are able to implement the new function before
GSOC is over.  For example, one thing which has been frequently
requested is functions to display intervals in the unit of your choice
... for example, convert "1 day" to "14400 seconds".

Pick some stretch goals which work for you ... but I'd like to see some.
