IMemento: No putLong() / getLong() methods? [message #629725]

I was just wondering why IMemento doesn't offer putter / getter for Longs, as it does for Boolean, Integer, Float and String?

And while you are already asking: What about type double?
It's astonishing that not even the largest types of the corresponding
sub-family (integral, floating point) are supported. I don't
mind the lack of support for char, for example, which could be
easily stored as an int.

There isn't really a why. The consumers never asked for it, probably
because anybody that hit it simply did the long->String/String->long
conversion themselves.
