Nope. Can you?

This is probably overkill if this is the only unit based math you want to do but...

gem install ruby-units

require 'ruby-units' age = 'years'.since(birthday) # where birthday is either a Time, DateTime, or string of a date

if you install and require the 'Chronic' gem, you can pass all sorts of funky stuff..

require 'chronic' 'days'.until 'monday' #=> 1.48601 days
