Comment (by Viper007Bond):

 Alright, quite a few changes. :)

 * Now accepts arguments as an array. Props dd32.

 * Added "context" parameter that controls how the unit names are
 translated. Are more contexts needed? For example past versus future? Dumb
 English speaker here. :)

 * The separator can be controlled via the arguments, as can the unit
 labels.

 * Removed the units filter. This function won't work with units smaller
 than a second and I don't forsee people wanting to output "X decades". ;)

 * Add two helper functions per dd32's idea for the difference usage
 contexts. '''TODO:''' Go through existing usages of `human_time_diff()` in
 core and replace them with the context helper functions.
