Days and times plugin

Plugin details


Enhances Rails' core-extensions relating to Time. Introduces the idea of a TimeSpan and an AnchoredTimeSpan. Try something like Now.until(Tomorrow), or 3.hours.starting(15.minutes.from_now).

1.hour has been changed to mean what it should: a span of time lasting one hour. That span of time can be attached to a start_time and become an AnchoredTimeSpan, or it can be mathematically manipulated just like you would think of a time span. 1.hour / 30.minutes will return 2, and 1.hour / 2 will return 30.minutes.
