In order to facilitate proper time manipulation, arithmetic, and comparison it will be very useful to have Durations.

Create an OTTL Converter Function, probably called Duration, that is able to create a new time.Duration type from a string. Something similar to https://pkg.go.dev/time#ParseDuration can be used.

The function should take 1 parameters, a string (represented as a StringGetter) that represents the duration in Go format, such as 1s for 1 second or 2h for 2 hours or 3m30s for 3 minutes and 30 seconds.
