The only input formats we support are along the lines of

@ 1 year 2 mons 3 days 4 hours 5 mins 6 secs
@ 1 year 2 mons 3 days 04:05:06

These are also the supported output formats (the first you get for 'sql',
'postgres', and 'german' formats; the second is 'iso'). A quick check of
ISO 8601 shows, however, that neither of these are close to anything
specified in that standard.
