+\r
+Well, that assumes there is still the same arithmetic operations -- the\r
+calendar issue will probably push them to either auto-convert to float\r
+or use bignum. But still, assuming that in 2038, people are still on\r
+32bit machines, it seems we should minimize the amount of things that\r

+\r
+is probably the best. They'll have to deal with their time_t (again,\r
+assuming the unlikely existence of 32bit machines then) but this doesn't\r
+depend on their arithemetic. \r
+\r
+I'll send a revision to this thread.\r
