Soem background, for the sake of the mailing list archives:

Our generic parser implies seconds as units, but if another unit is
specified it will honour that. The parsing code will always parse things
as accuracte as 1us into a usec_t.

This is documented in systemd.time(7). 

We also have a second parser, which has nanosecond granularity, since we
cannot use the usual usec_t for that, but need to use nsec_t...

Explicit parsers for the various other time units should not be
necessary, the normal second-parser should be good enough.
