Looks like org-element-timestamp-parser is the org time parser...
probably a bit excessive.  :-)

We'd want to parse stuff like 1m3d, right?  Which is awfully like what
iso8601-parse-duration accepts:

(iso8601-parse-duration "P3Y6M4DT12H30M5S")
=> (5 30 12 4 6 3 nil -1 nil)

(iso8601-parse-duration "P3W")
=> (nil nil nil 21 nil nil nil -1 nil)

So just upcase and add a P to the start and we're there.  :-)
