No need for the ‘rec’ part.  I propose to output all generations in the
recutils format when ‘--list-generations’ is passed.

The plus sign is confusing (we’re subtracting).  I’d rather use ‘22d’,
‘2w’, and ‘1m’.

How can I subtract 22 days from (current-time) using SRFI-19?  There is
a ‘subtract-duration’ procedure, but I don’t understand how to create a
‘duration’ object.

Indeed.

No worries.  Thanks for the tips.
