This program converts the given time into various formats (currently a local
timestamp, UTC timestamp, and UNIX epoch). It tries to guess what the input is.
Some valid queries:
2024-01-05
1715079241
tomorrow 5PM
-22h
-7h10m
Mar 15
Sep 3 18:00
For now a single timestamp and a single duration (which is added either to the
current time, or the given time) is supported.`
