Thanks for starting this.
A few notes.
- Durations can be added or subtracted.
- The legal units for durations are, i think, microseconds, milliseconds, seconds, minutes, hours, days, weeks.
- SQL durations, if the database has them, are not imported and useful as Malloy durations.

Done. I added years to your list of legal units 😄
