    var b: Bool = dt.older(than: 10, units: "seconds")

    // Is the date/time older than 15 minutes?
    b = dt.older(than: 15, units: "minutes")
    print("Older than 15 minutes: \(b)")

    // Is the date/time older than 1 hour?
    b = dt.older(than: 1, units: "hour")
    print("Older than 1 hour: \(b)")

    // Is the date/time older than 1 day?
    b = dt.older(than: 1, units: "day")
    print("Older than 1 day: \(b)")

    // Output:

    // 	Now: 2017-05-05T23:33:06-0500
    // 	10 minutes ago: 2017-05-05T23:23:06-0500
    // 	Older than 10 seconds: True
    // 	Older than 5 minutes: True
    // 	Older than 15 minutes: False
    // 	Older than 1 hour: False
    // 	Older than 1 day: False
