programmer mindset has also included such things as
sizeof(int) == sizeof(*)
and
sizeof(long) == sizeof(*)
And, just like what happened in these cases (well, it's still happening
in the sizeof(long) == sizeof(*) case) people will learn.
I'd love to see time64_t be a non-scalar type and force people to
use time64diff(), time64add(), time64sub(), et al to extract the
contents of it instead of the seductively simple approach of using
scalars that we have now.
