Description

ISO 8601 allows durations and time intervals, maybe we should consider supporting this in arrow via a separate class or some other method.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_8601#Durations

This is quite a bit of work so we'd need to know this would actually be useful and used.

Research direction

Start by reviewing the linked ISO 8601 reference for durations and time intervals, then inspect Arrow's existing date and time support. Determine whether a separate class or another approach is appropriate, identify a concrete useful use case, and define completion criteria before implementation.
