A sleep with progress.

Timer is a small CLI, similar to the sleep everyone already knows and love, with a couple of extra features:

• a progress bar indicating the progression of said timer
• a timer showing how much time is left
• named timers

timer <duration>
timer -n <name> <duration>
man timer
timer --help

It is possible to pass a time unit for <duration>.

Valid time units are "ns", "us" (or "µs"), "ms", "s", "m", "h". If no unit is passed, it defaults to seconds ("s").
