Well, such a module already exists!

Daniel, Flavio raises a good point, though. What is the point of your 
module, and how is it different from DT::F::Duration?

As far as localization, I'd prefer to see locale-specific data as part of 
the DateTime::Locale module itself. In fact, CLDR 1.6 does include a bunch 
of stuff for formatting spans in a locale-specific way. I haven't 
integrated that into DT::Locale yet, because I want to figure out how to 
actually use it.
