Description

I found that when divided by a negative number, the behavior differs.
which way should this inconsistency be resolved? If it should
The same in v3 (codename bigg)

    return match(self, {
      onMillis: (millis) => {
        if (by === 0) return undefined // ===
        return make(millis / by)
      },
      onNanos: (nanos) => {
        if (by <= 0) return undefined // <=
        try {
          return make(nanos / BigInt(by))
        } catch {
          return undefined
        }
      },
      onInfinity: () => infinity
    })

I think this links to the broader topic of negative durations, I think the current design is too restrictive, cc @fubhy @tim-smart
