Available expressions for interval: `year`, `quarter`, `month`, `week`, `day`, `hour`, `minute`, `second`
Available expressions for interval: `year` (`1y`), `quarter` (`1q`), `month` (`1M`), `week` (`1w`),
`day` (`1d`), `hour` (`1h`), `minute` (`1m`), `second` (`1s`)

Time values can also be specified via abbreviations supported by <<time-units,time units>> parsing.
Note that fractional time values are not supported, but you can address this by shifting to another
time unit (e.g., `1.5h` could instead be specified as `90m`).
time unit (e.g., `1.5h` could instead be specified as `90m`). Also note that time intervals larger than
than days do not support arbitrary values but can only be one unit large (e.g. `1y` is valid, `2y` is not).
