       Pause for NUMBER seconds.  SUFFIX may be `s' for seconds
       (the default), `m' for minutes, `h' for hours or `d'
       for days.  Unlike most  implemen‐ tations  that
       require NUMBER be an integer, here NUMBER may be
       an arbi‐ trary floating point number.  Given two
       or more  arguments,  pause  for the amount of time
       specified by the sum of their values.
