// # Reading Time Helper
//
// Usage:  `{{reading_time}}`
// or for translatable themes, with (t) translation helper's subexpressions:
// `{{reading_time seconds=(t "< 1 min read") minute=(t "1 min read") minutes=(t "% min read")}}`
// and in the theme translation file, for example Spanish es.json:
// "< 1 min read": "< 1 min de lectura",
// "1 min read": "1 min de lectura",
// "% min read": "% min de lectura",
//
// Returns estimated reading time for post
