[duration2]

Description

This is an alternate version of the built-in [duration] type (actually a subclass of it) whose member tags never round up -- they return the whole number of units of each type. Uses the plural form of each unit, i.e., ->seconds, ->minutes, ->hours, ->days, ->weeks, ->months, ->years. Otherwise identical to [duration].

Sample Usage

duration2('00:30:01')->hours;

-> 0
