Comment (by dd32):

 If i was doing this, i'd have:
 {{{
 human_time_diff( $args ) {
   if ( ! is_array($args ) {
     $args = array();
     list($args['from'], $args['to']) = func_get_args();
   }
   $defaults = array('from' => null, 'to' => time(), 'labels' => ....
   ...
 }

 human_time_diff_ago($args) {
   $args['labels']['months'] = array( '%s month ago', '%s months ago' );
   ...
 }
 human_time_diff_until($args) {
   $args['labels']['months'] = array( 'in %s month', 'in %s months' );
   ...
 }
 human_time_diff_age($args) {
   $args['labels']['months'] = array( '%s month old', '%s months old' );
   ...
 }
 }}}

 of course, that would still have the problem of 'slotting' a translated
 string into another string, not exactly ideal. Other chances that
 age|until|ago doesn't cover everything either that it'd be used in.
