This may be a departure from strict IDL compatibility, but it would be useful if timespan() had more flexible time specification options:

Allow common abbreviations for time units -- currently only "days",. "hours", "minutes" and "seconds" are recognized. It would
be easy to also recognize "day", "d", "second", "secs",. "sec", "s", etc. as synonyms
Allow specification of a time range as an array (of strings, floats, np.datetimes, python datetimes), rather than just start time and duration
Allow for resetting the timespan, as if it had never been called
