I ignored it because it is irrelevant. The fact that many related things
are changing does not justify piling on more changes. Every change
should have a very solid technical reason behind it. "Long is not used
anymore" is not a solid technical reason. The code will compile
perfectly fine with it being IS_LONG. Also, these are userspace-facing
in the sense that as an extension author we are dealing with PHP's type
system consisting of lval, dval, string, array, object and resource. How
exactly an lval or IS_LONG is implemented at the C level on any given
platform is an implementation detail and could change, but we are still
providing an lval to userspace. As C developers, extension authors are
more than capable of checking the actual macro definition if they want
to know the details.

I'd also appreciate if you would drop your toxicity level a few notches
in your emails to the list, irc and twitter.

Thanks
