I admittedly don't understand the argument that it should be
hard to user programs to convert time durations to alternate
standard units of measure. But even so, it would seem to make
sense for the documentation of std.datetime.stopwatch to
provide clear examples of printing a duration in different
standard time units. In documentation's current form, it takes
quite a bit of digging to figure out how to do this. I'd
recommend at least making it clear in the documentation how to
do this. Yes, this would also make it easier for users to
convert to float, but printing in standard units of measure is
a rather basic operation.
+1.
I had the same problem with some benchmark intensive project. It
took me some time to resolve the deprecations, but I lost more
time diging for a way to display times in a human readable form.
Internal representations of durations are useless if you cannot
display them in a standard unit of measure.
