I just think we have to tread carefully. Comparing two 64 bit timestamps
could result in surprising bugs where an event seconds after another isn't
greater than the earlier event due to a loss of precision casting to double. So
I'd rather enforce the safest possible and most correct comparison and make the
interface not that general.
Is your concern performance based? Can we reduce the number of times we
call doubleVal/longVal. Sorry I was not aware of the performance implications.
We could also make the values themselves implement Comparable and let them
be compared to other function values. But this seems complex and we'd still
need to enforce the correct comparison.
