While these methods provide precise calculation when used as in the examples above, care
should be taken to note that this is not true if the result of `months', `years', etc is
converted before use:

```ruby
# equivalent to 30.days.to_i.from_now
1.month.to_i.from_now

# equivalent to 365.25.days.to_f.from_now
1.year.to_f.from_now
```

In such cases, Ruby's core [Date](http://ruby-doc.org/stdlib/libdoc/date/rdoc/Date.html) and
[Time](http://ruby-doc.org/stdlib/libdoc/time/rdoc/Time.html) should be used for precision
date and time arithmetic.

NOTE: Defined in `active_support/core_ext/numeric/time.rb`.
