1. There is no way to get a date for `now + duration'.
This is something useful and often needed. Currently the only way is
via inline-C.
See https://www.varnish-cache.org/trac/wiki/VCLExampleSetExpires

2. now and now + duration behave differently (string vs duration)
This is for consistency.

3. now + duration returns a duration, not a time as supposed to be.
This is a bug.
