Hello! Currently (0.8.7) '1 day 3 hours ago' is parsed as '-1 day +3 hours'.
Shouldn't it be '-1 day -3 hours'? Or should I avoid mixing a few different
units? '1 day ago 3 hours ago' is parsed right.

Oleg.

Programmers don't die, they just GOSUB without RETURN.

yea, that is a current bug - the parser doesn't understand compound
items like humans do.

I need to add handling for that by setting the direction of the offset
once and then using it until it's reset
