Description
Hi,
Would it be possible to allow more value types for --ab-loop-a/b please?
Indeed, it seems currently that only positive times are allowed (e.g.: "+01:35" or "01:35").
It could be convenient to allow as well negative times (e.g.: "-13:37" i.e. 13'37" before the end of the file), percentages (e.g.: "33%") and chapters (e.g.: "#3") like what seek playback control offers.
Thanks in advance :)

Research direction
Start by tracing how the --ab-loop-a and --ab-loop-b playback controls parse their values, then compare that handling with the seek playback control. Done means negative time offsets, percentages, and chapter references such as -13:37, 33%, and #3 are accepted consistently.
