months()

Enables the use of time calculations and declarations, like 45.minutes + 2.hours + 4.years.

These methods use Time#advance for precise date calculations when using from_now, ago, etc. as well as adding or subtracting their results from a Time object.

# equivalent to Time.now.advance(months: 1)
1.month.from_now

# equivalent to Time.now.advance(years: 2)
2.years.from_now

# equivalent to Time.now.advance(months: 4, years: 5)
(4.months + 5.years).from_now
