I'd also like to see Nickel support duration. The chronic_duration
gem does this decently well. Part of the issue I'm seeing is that if I say "for 30 minutes", Nickel parses that 30 as a day of the month, so Nickel's dates are incorrectly returning two dates. Perhaps there can be a confidence metric associated with the Nickel ZDate object? It would make sense to use the chronic_duration gem WITH Nickel if Nickel did not incorrectly parse the number as the day of the month.
In another scenario, Nickel parses the duration as the "start time":
n = Nickel.parse "I did 20 minutes of yoga today"
=> message: "I did minutes of yoga", occurrences: [#<Occurrence type: single, start_date: 20150824, start_time: 200000>]
Note that the start date is correct; start_time is showing up as 200000, which I'm not entirely sure of the meaning.
Is there any way to enable Nickel to understand something like
"Run with John next Friday at 5pm for 1 hour"
If no - any tips how it would be possible to add such feature as your code is a "little" over my head :)
