To do
Soon a human readable parser will be added, so we can do stuff like:
readable("* * * * *"); // "Every minute"
readable("5 * * * *"); // "Minute 5 of every hour"
readable("* 5 * * *"); // "Every minute at 5 AM"
readable("* * 5 * *"); // "Every minute at the 5th day of every month"
readable("* * * 5 *"); // "Every minute in May"
readable("* * * * 5"); // "Every minute on Friday"
readable("5 5 5 5 5"); // "At 5:05 AM, the 5th day of May on Friday"
