How is seconds able to be read at compile time but unitType

"seconds" is a literal value that the compiler knows about. 
unitType is a variable that might change between its 
declaration and use (it doesn't here, but the compiler doesn't 
check if it actually does, just if it *can*), so the compiler 
doesn't allow it.

Thanks a lot Adam!

So is there a way around this?. I want duration to be 
configurable at runtime.

Never mind I found a better solution to my problem by storing a 
Duration instead of the unitType. Works just fine.

Thanks a lot I appreciate your help!
