------------------------------------------------
IMO I agree to it. I get your concern. So again the arg could if the custom
cell is on the client side - then once the cell goes into server side then we
are safe from that point onwards but the catch is that if on the client side we
need to do CellComparator then we have an issue.
So the @Public facing CellComparator internally should manage getType and
getTypeByte as you said.
> Suspect methods on Cell to be deprecated

> that we have some methods on Cell which should be deprecated for removal:
> * {{#getType()}}
> * {{#getTimestamp()}}
> * {{#getTag()}}
> * {{#getSequenceId()}}
> Let's make a pass over these (and maybe the rest) to make sure that there
> aren't others which are either implementation details or methods returning
> now-private-marked classes.
