Remarks
The conversion to string breaks the duration down by largest to smallest unit (years down to
seconds). As such, the string returned may not match the string it was parsed from if a unit in the
input string exceeds a unit of time used when converting it back to a string (i.e. PT24H will be
returned as 1 day, P7W will be returned as 1 month, 2 weeks, 5 days if a month is defined as 30
days). The overloaded version can be used to convert to a string with a maximum unit of time
represented.
