In #28204 we deprecated implicit conversion of durations to a numeric which represented the number of seconds in the duration because of unwanted side effects with calculations on durations and dates. This unfortunately had the side effect of forcing a explicit cast when configuring third-party libraries like expiration in Redis, e.g:
To work around this we've removed the deprecation and added a private class that wraps the numeric and can perform calculation involving durations and ensure that they remain a duration irrespective of the order of operations.
