Um, the whole point of using the proper Palm types *is* that your stuff
will blow up if there's a change. Because when there's a change, it's
important that you know about it, and promptly fix it.
However, the recent conversion in 3.5 seems to be a forward step, laying
the groundwork for future painless updates. You can probably safely
convert to the new types, and be all set for a while.
