Re: ISO 8601 'Time Intervals' of the 'format with time-unit deignators'

So far,

I have submitted the input-part.

I have a working output-part (attached below, but I'm
still cleaning up the documentation so I'll submit another
one later). The output is chosen by setting
the datestyle to 'iso8601basic'.

Those two changes don't break backward compatability
but don't fix too much odd behavior except ISO time interval I/O.

I was encouraged to look into changing the way timestamp
math is done (keeping month, and day, and second separate
until the end). This is a bigger change and I don't have
a stable version yet, and it breaks backward compatability.
I hope to submit a proposal for changes early enough in the
7.5 timeframe to submit fixes then as well. At the very least
I will fully document the existing interval-math as part of
this proposal so the docs can be updated even if the proposal
gets rejected.
