I don't oppose this, but isn't this the same kind of change I wanted to do 
for frame_number which was rejected because of e.g. printf format string 
concerns? So based on that logic the proper way is to introduce new fields 
with different types and deprecate the old ones. If we want to be 
consistent with our API rules...

Marton
