If you're going to go the direction of a {unitType, unitsPerInterval}  
tuple, then I think the only two units you could ever want are minutes and  
months. All other standard units of time can be expressed in terms of  
those two, right?

Also consider changing "optional uint64 ends = 4;" to be a interval count  
instead of a UTC timestamp, to avoid any ambiguity over how the 'while'  
loop should be implemented.
