The intention was that people would always use the macros (e.g. to_us_since_boot, so the difference in implementation would not matter.

As stated in the docs the reason for making absolute_time_t a separate type was to avoid confusion between timeouts and longs.

Frankly, if people were using the macros, it is probably fine to make the default be that everything is a uint64_t.

Where is this explained in the documentation? I can't find any explanation of the rational behind this.
