/**
 * A class for making time periods readable.
 *
 * This class allows for the conversion of an integer
 * number of seconds into a readable string.
 * For example, '121' into '2 minutes, 1 second'.
 * 
 * If an array is passed to the class, the associative
 * keys are used for the names of the time segments.
 * For example, array('seconds' => 12, 'minutes' => 1)
 * into '1 minute, 12 seconds'.
 *
 * This class is plural aware. Time segments with values
 * other than 1 will have an 's' appended.
 * For example, '1 second' not '1 seconds'.
