Again, these are strange and very limiting rules. What if I want to have
"5 h 32 min"? And "5,3 days"?

Achim didn't specify how he conceives the FMT argument. One possibility
would be to have a placeholder-based template with, i.e. %d, %h, %m, %w
for respectively number of days, hours, minutes and weeks. But it's
still less flexible than functions because you need to have a fixed
number of placeholders in every template.

I still think functions are the way to go. Three options in the
defcustom:

  - One to provide regular time (i.e 14:40 or 3d 18:32)

  - One to provide decimal time with the highest unit available (i.e.
    18,75 h or 2,5 d).

  - One free slot for an user-defined function.
