Can Ruby do something like this?

irb(main):001:0>  start = Time.now
=>  Thu Nov 05 01:02:54 -0800 2009

irb(main):002:0>  Time.now - start
=>  25.239

irb(main):003:0>  (Time.now - start).duration
=>  "25 seconds"
and similarly, report

23 minutes and 35 seconds
1 hour and 33 minutes
2 days and 3 hours
(either report the whole duration, up to how many seconds, or report up
to 2 numbers and units (if day and hour is reported, then no need to
tell how many minutes)
