I don't see the point in not introducing a separate command for what is considerably different functionality. > > 2.

No. There is (integer-length den) for getting what amounts to the binary log (offset by 1). But there does not seem to be a point in not having the user enter a dotted duration in the first place if that is what you want to see. > 3.

Just don't use a string to start with. -- David Kastrup
