I still want to do it.

There is some need to improve ActiveSupport::Duration (add ability to be 
created by parsing from ISO 8601 Duration 
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_8601#Durations> and to be output to it), 
may be also fix some things. I've found awesome gem ISO8601 
<https://github.com/arnau/ISO8601> but it's reimplement all types (date, 
times, durations). I can pick some required logic from it into 
ActiveSupport::Duration (or may be it's better to use the whole gem in 
Rails?). Should these changes go into separate pull request or not?
