But that spec change has since been superseded by a newer, much better one:
$ git show 337f4
commit 337f433398a070884e3258fc724c3b5f775fe085

[S32/Temporal] retire TimeUnit enum and .delta
Use strings in .truncate-to instead.
.delta now becomes .later and .earlier, and they expect string keys as named
arguments.
[...]
my $dt = DateTime.new('2005-02-01T15:20:35Z');
- say $dt.truncated-to(hour); # 2005-02-01T15:00:00Z
+ say $dt.truncated-to('hour'); # 2005-02-01T15:00:00Z
[...]
-The C<delta> constructor allows you to move a number of C<TimeUnit>s forward or
-backward in time.
+The C<later> and C<earlier> constructors allows you to move a number of time
+units forward or backward in time.
- $dt.delta(44, minutes);
- $dt.delta(-1, week);
+ $dt.later(minutes => 44);
+ $dt.earlier(week => 1);
+
+(Both C<later> and C<earlier> accept zero or negative integers, with
the obvious
+extended semantics.)
[...]
(end of diff)
...and that's how .truncated-to got its string argument. The end.
