{{{
import datetime
from django.utils.duration import duration_string
print(duration_string(datetime.timedelta(seconds=-5)))
}}}
This should print `-00:00:05` but instead it prints `-1 23:59:55` which is
interpreted as -1 day, plus 23 hours, plus 59 minutes, plus 55 seconds.
I don't think it's intuitive to support durations that have different
signs on the number of days vs hours/minutes/seconds. Note that ISO8601
timestamps just have one sign that applies to all components.
