All arguments are optional and default to 0. Arguments may be ints,
longs, or floats, and may be positive or negative.
Only days, seconds and microseconds are stored internally. Arguments
are converted to those units:
A millisecond is converted to 1000 microseconds. A minute is converted
to 60 seconds. An hour is converted to 3600 seconds. A week is
converted to 7 days. and days, seconds and microseconds are then
normalized so that the representation is unique, with
0 <= microseconds < 1000000 0 <= seconds < 3600*24 (the number of
seconds in one day)
-999999999 <= days <= 999999999
