Review Comment:
   I don't understand why it was marked like that
   * the implemented interface methods can be deprecated - but they aren't
   * it did provided a working implementation (no idea why...)
   * it has the `@Deprecated` annotation for >5 years - should we really carry 
it forward?
      * is anyone committed to fix this deprecation?
      * what are benefits of doing so?
   * the apidoc's were a bit contradicting; but the `is convenient for 
implementation of "object-sourcing" seemed the most accurate.
   * the class itself is not `@Deprecated` so anyone can just extend it and use 
it
   
   because of the above I've just removed them...
   
   I think instead of `@Deprecated`: if the implementation should reject calls 
to `getLong` and friends it should just throw an `Exception` in the default 
implementation explaining the situation - but even in that case it can't really 
be deprecated as this class is not the one declaring those methods.
