Even though I would like this behavior to be the default one I really do not like the complexity I added here.

I want to solve this anyways b/c it is quite awkward to keep converting back from `timedelta`s to time data. I will have a PR soon.

Replacing `decode_time` for `decode_datetimes` and `decode_timedelta` and then:

``` python
    if decode_datetimes and 'units' in attributes and 'since' in attributes['units']:
        units = pop_to(attributes, encoding, 'units')
        calendar = pop_to(attributes, encoding, 'calendar')
        data = DecodedCFDatetimeArray(data, units, calendar)

    if decode_timedelta and attributes['units'] in TIME_UNITS:
        units = pop_to(attributes, encoding, 'units')
        data = DecodedCFTimedeltaArray(data, units)
```

To be honest I cannot see why someone might want to convert time data to a `timedelta` and I would be inclined to remove `decode_timedelta` instead. However, that may be my [very biased view](http://nbviewer.jupyter.org/gist/ocefpaf/d4e06714df5154590744320d593ea373) since such transformation does not make sense with my data :smile: 

Do you have any advice? (I would like to try this before you release `v0.8.0`)
