[Proposal] NaiveDateTime.add/3 accepting more units

[Renato Ceolin]

It would be nice if NaiveDateTime accepted more units other than
:second, :millisecond, :microsecond and :nanosecond.

Actually it is more like adding more units to https://hexdocs.pm/elixir/System.html#t:time_unit/0

Having :minute, :hour, :day:, :week, :month, :year would be nice

There has been recent discussions on this mailing list and on the issues tracker about this. So I recommend searching for the previous discussion. The issue is here: https://github.com/elixir-lang/elixir/pull/10199

TL;DR - the nuances of timezones, multiple calendars, etc make this more complicated than one would expect.
