I noticed that at least [one person] was confused about what it should return. In particular, the getters on a `Span` return the individual units, and not the "total" amount of them in the entire span. This is different from how "absolute" durations work that don't keep track of the individual units in the span. [one person]: https://lobste.rs/s/rnqlef/named_arguments_rust_if_you_want_them#c_iiap4n
