It was a bit more work, and time specs are ambiguous (1m means a month
or a minute?), but I've now implemented this.

The ambiguousness means that this could probably be tweaked a bit, but I
made the prompting thing into its own function, and we can more it to a
more central location if something else wants to use it.  And then tweak
further, if necessary.  For instance, one may do a DWIM check on the
string:  1m4m clearly means 1 month and four minutes and 2d4m means two
days and four minutes, while 1y1m is terminally ambiguous.
