digitalmars.D.learn - =?ISO-8859-7?Q?how_to_round_durations_to_most_significant_unit_=3F_=285?=

Is there a function to do this?
If not and I/someone writes it, is there interest to add it to std.datetime=
?

Duration t =3D ...;
t.to!string =3D> 5 secs, 889 ms, and 811 =ECs
t.round.to!string    =3D> 5 secs

t=3D...;
t.to!string =3D> 889 ms, and 811 =ECs
t.round.to!string    =3D> 889 secs

Use case: shorter logs.

Similarly, it would be nice to have a module in phobos for representing
other units such as bytes, and have a similar rounding scheme as in unix
command 'ls -lh' which shows 532K, 12M etc)
