It would be great to allow custom java.time.Duration formatting that can produce:

• 02:30
• 01:02:30
• 2h3m
• 1d2h3m
• 2 hours and 3 minutes
• 1 hour and 3 minutes
• 1 day and 5 hours
• 1 day, 5 hours and 1 minute

Possible solutions:

• Allow to extract specific part of the duration just by including default decomposition rules (e.g. hours {duration.hours} {hour,hours#duration.hours}) - easy solution, but this alone does not allow dynamic range and would result in things like "0 days, 4 hours, 1 minute". Good start anyway - would integrate okay with current pluralization. A bit long to write. Can even support leading zeros using the number formatting feature. Very flexible with the formatting and the different approaches languages can have for such constructs.

These are not working as expected and are incorrectly interpreted:

• {%,.0f#value}
• {%\,.0f#value}

This is already working for placeholder parameters.
