DateTime: Time division

[Jollywatt]

@ryofurue

The original motivation of my post is to ask whether there is already a standard method to handle physical duration of time.

In that case, do consider Unitful.jl:

@cjdoris

julia> using Unitful

julia> t = 1u"hr" + 5u"minute" + 2u"s"
3902 s

julia> t/5
780.4 s

Incidentally, your desired code does work if you change the compound period del = Hour(1) + Minute(30) to a simple period del = Minute(90).

t1 = DateTime("2023-01-01")
t2 = DateTime("2023-01-02")
del = Minute(90)
time_axis = (t1 + del/2):del:(t2 - del/2)

I wonder why using a compound period as a range step isn’t implemented? Perhaps we can get it added!
