I think that int should be the base class, because I can imagine long supporting operations that int does not support, but not vice versa.
Perhaps 'int' should be an abstract class, with concrete subclasses 'long' and 'short'.
That's quite a nice idea -- a bit like an Objective C class cluster. Cheers, mwh -- ZAPHOD: You know what I'm thinking? FORD: No. ZAPHOD: Neither do I. Frightening isn't it? -- The Hitch-Hikers Guide to the Galaxy, Episode 11
