--- Comment #61 from Tor Lillqvist <t...@iki.fi> ---
@Baltasar: The benefit is to get rid of the cargo cult long integer literals.
Avoiding the possibility that somebody reading the code things that it actually
makes a difference to have those integer literals "long". And copying that
without thinking.
Code is read much more than it was written. Tens of years later. By other
people. We certainly know that in LibreOffice, where parts of the codebase is
over 20 years old. And full of weird stuff that you don't know whether it
actually has a meaning.
