Then, this reminded me of an older thread I started:
Neat: UFCS for integer dot operator suffix
http://forum.dlang.org/thread/[email protected]
And then it struct me:

Thread.sleep(100.dur!"msecs");

Yay! Or even better:

alias msecs = dur!"msecs"
...
Thread.sleep(100.msecs); //Wow. Talk about expressive !!!
This is how it should look like. Date ranges in Ruby on Rails can be
really beautiful:
date = 2.days.ago
I think we should have the same in D.
What about making things like msecs public aliases? How do you feel
about that?
Go for it.
