14 Pause for NUMBER seconds. SUFFIX may be 's' for seconds (the default),
15 \&'m' for minutes, 'h' for hours or 'd' for days. Unlike most implementations
16 that require NUMBER be an integer, here NUMBER may be an arbitrary floating
17 point number. Given two or more arguments, pause for the amount of time
18 specified by the sum of their values.
