By rkuhn:

It’s less direct and clear: how it the user supposed to know that Dilated ultimately is meant to come from ActorSystem.settings? (imagine the error message if no implicit is found, which one would be more clear?) Should the user really be tempted to override it locally with another implicit? Both approaches have their warts. Is Duration.dilated exactly the only difficult one? If there is more than one, that would decide it for me. If not, the scales could tip either way.
