I’d like to have interval types for example

   const D = new Temporal()
   const t = new Interval({minutes:5})
   const v = D.add(t)

That's Duration!

    const D = Temporal.PlainDate.from("2020-06-16");
    const t = Temporal.Duration.from({ day: 1 });
    const v = D.add(t) // 2020-06-17

At least in java.time (which I believe an inspiration for Temporal) Duration (https://docs.oracle.com/en/java/javase/21/docs/api/java.base...) is a time-based measure of time. For example, 5 hours, 59 minutes, and 15 seconds.

Period (https://docs.oracle.com/en/java/javase/21/docs/api/java.base...) is a date-based measure of time. 2 years, 3 months, and 4 days.

Interval (https://www.threeten.org/threeten-extra/apidocs/org.threeten...) isn't built into java.time, however, it is in the popular threeten-extra library. The docs say "An interval represents the time on the time-line between two Instants." The main difference being that Interval is anchored to the timeline while Duration and Period are not.

It is called Duration.

a much less ambiguous name than Interval
