Settings Types: Time: suffix vs prefix

[respiranto]

In /docs/core/settings/types.md, the documentation for both "Time" and "Millisecond Time" talks of suffixes of "secs", "seconds", "mins", where (I believe) it should actually talk of prefixes of these words, and using them as suffixes.

Suggestion (for "Time"):

The Time value is generally composed of a numeric prefix and a unit suffix.
The following words (and non-empty unambiguous prefixes thereof) are supported as unit suffixes:
...

The value can also be `infinite`.

(Or just disallow proper prefixes.)

Further, I assume there are also some bounds on the numeric part and/or the represented value; their documentation would also be welcome.

The current text is correct.

The documentation is describing Time/Milliseconds Time, which is a value and a suffix that qualifies that value. e.g. the value of time is "5", and the suffix is "secs". 5 is not the prefix, a prefix would be something like "foo" where "Foo 5 secs". A prefix is relative to some value - it is not relative to a suffix.

We'd be open to a PR for something like "The Time value is composed of a integer value and a unit suffix." But otherwise the text is correct.

The documentation says:

So for example, d, da, day, and days all mean the same.

I take this to mean that all non-empty prefixes of days (and, by extension, the other unit words) are accepted as suffixes.
