Of course, having (long, TimeUnit) argument pairs is a performance hack, but there's not much demand for an improved API, and I still hope that someday we'll have proper value types in Java, at which time adding support for value type durations will be more attractive. So let's do nothing else for now, unless there's a more urgent compelling reason?
