I use untyped (long) a lot in internal calculations for speed, and would like to know if there is a problem with that approach. I use typed almost as "documentation", that is, this _is_ an Interval, you know, not just a couple of longs. It's one of the things I like about Joda-Time, the facility of converting to-from milliseconds. Count me as a user reluctant to that planned move to the typed world, except if there are some unsuspected dangers lurking in my way of working :o)
