(In other words, I'd rather optimized for cleanliness of the spec over matching an existing internal implementation detail.) It does not matter that the `TimestampedValue$TimestampedValueCoder` does not agree here, we would just use a different `Coder<TimestampedValue>`. (We need to explicitly ensure that the coder for T is LP anyway, so we shouldn't be inferring coders here.) -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
