I did follow the pattern set for relative (which is why I created 
show_date_human() to mimic show_date_relative() ) as had been suggested.   I 
like this pattern better.

Why don't I create a second patch set after I git this one to next for 
relative to match your suggestion.  I don't like the idea of conflating two 
topics.
