And can we please add them? It would save us a lot of time (heh) when we want to switch apr_time_t to yet another (source compatible!) representation. Users should be cautioned by saying we don't do guarantees unless they use the macros. That the macros are defined to be simple scalar operations (for this particular choice of implementation) doesn't matter. This is IMO all we can do, short of making apr_time_t a true ADT, which we can't for obvious reasons. Sander
