they do this?

   a = Time.now
   b = a + 42.seconds

   delta = b - a

   p delta.days #=> 0.000486111111111111

i didn't know they handled time differences too?  i'm sure rails does not do
this and the docs for facets seems to show it does not.  are you sure?

i thought the example was pretty clear that the unit methods were asymetric in
the way they operate on times and time deltas...  if not, sorry.

cheers.
