I know it's explained in the docs, but it still seems counterintuitive.

    Perhaps it will make more sense if you play with the code examples they give after explaining that they want functions Delta_DHMS() and Add_Delta_DHMS() to be complementary/mutually inverse.

    It seems intuitive to me, particularly if you were going to use the positive/negative results as arguments in a followup function call.
