+* Change `ActiveSupport::Duration` creation with numeric methods like `1.week`
+ to create durations with more predictable and ISO8601-conformant parts.
+
+ This is to remove astonishment from getting `3600 seconds` from `1.hour`.
+
+ It should not affect current apps as duration's `value` (number of seconds) remains the same,
+ only hash of `parts` (and `inspect` value) is changed and only when it's constructed by calling
+ methods on integers. Manual construction of Durations isn't affected.
+ Inside the ActiveSupport::Duration itself most operations rely only on number of seconds.
+
+ Before:
+
+ [1.hour.inspect, 1.hour.value, 1.hour.parts] # => ["3600 seconds", 3600, [[:seconds, 3600]]]
+ [1.week.inspect, 1.week.value, 1.week.parts] # => ["7 days", 604800, [[:days, 7]]]
+
+ After:
+
+ [1.hour.inspect, 1.hour.value, 1.hour.parts] # => ["1 hour", 3600, [[:hours, 1]]]
+ [1.week.inspect, 1.week.value, 1.week.parts] # => ["1 week", 604800, [[:weeks, 1]]]
