distance_of_time_in_words should work with DateTime as argument

due to this bug: https://rails.lighthouseapp.com/projects/8994/tickets/1713-datetime...

since the rationale is in fraction of days and not in seconds!

    I don't see the problem on distance_of_time_in_words. Can you add a test in your patch to show it?

    i think it is clear, that if the calculation unit changes it will not work as expected. Time is in seconds, DateTime in days.

    if DateTime.to_time does not return a time result you get unexpected behaviour.

    thus, if #1713 is a wontfix you get inconsistent behavior until you make sure the calculation unit is as expected.

    applying this patch causes 3 test failures in actionpack master. Can you fix the patch to include a failing test case without your change and fixes to remedy the test failures?
