    Yeah this is a tough one. I’m not sure the right thing to do is for me to go around blasting PRs at those projects. They’re probably already carrying support for both chrono and time, and asking them to support a third that is brand new is a bit of a stretch I think. Especially since I’ve promised breaking changes in the not-too-distant future. (Although I would like to do a Jiff 1.0 release about 1 year from now and commit to stability.) At least, I know I’d be hesitant if I were on the other side of it. But maybe folks are more flexible than me, I’m not sure.

    I’ve been noodling on just adding these integrations to jiff itself. I do worry that if I do that, then the integrations will always stay with Jiff, even at 1.0. But maybe there just isn’t another feasible choice.

    But, why do you mention humantime? humantime doesn’t have any integrations with time or chrono. humantime is more like a thin wrapper on top of std::time::Duration and std::time::SystemTime to make parsing and printing a bit nicer.
