Sebb reopened MATH-260:
-----------------------


Yes, I know that the getXXX(Object) methods handle Integer specially; but so 
does the addValue(Object) method - it has to, in case an Integer is passed as 
an Object.

But why is there an addValue(Integer) method? What does it achieve?
There are no corresponding getXXX(Integer) methods.

>          Issue Type: Bug
>    Affects Versions: 2.0
>            Reporter: Sebb
>            Priority: Minor
>
> The overloaded Frequency methods are not consistent in the parameter types 
> that they handle.
> addValue() has an Integer version which converts the parameter to a Long, and 
> then calls addValue(Object).
> The various getxxx() methods all handle Integer parameters as an Object.
> Seems to me that it would be better to treat Integer consistently.
> But perhaps there is a good reason for having an addValue(Integer) method but 
> no getxxx(Integer) methods?
> If so, then it would be helpful to document this.
