Relative Time

Displays relative time (e.g. '3 days ago') in a custom element. Uses best guesses to decide what
unit (e.g. day, week etc.) to use.

Advantages

- Good test coverage
- Custom element (no vendor dependencies)
- Small file size
- Uses standard JS functionality (Intl.RelativeTimeFormat) with broad browser support
- Use within a HTML element to get optimum semantics
