add moment().intervalNow() for bidding, etc...

[crucifyer]

moment("2013-04-27T05:48:29.000Z").intervalNow()
"3 days 15 hours 2 minutes 53 seconds"

moment("2013-04-27T05:48:29.000Z").intervalNow(1)
"in 3 days 15 hours 2 minutes 53 seconds"

need for exact left time without timezone

thank you.

That looks interesting. Can you form it as a pull request? I guess it would also need tests, and adding ss to all languages :)

This is a pretty sweet addition, but I think it will have the same issues as outlined in this comment when localizing the string concatenation.

Also, this seems like a better addition to the Duration.prototype than the Moment.prototype.
