Description Jing Qian

in EDT 070, you can not compute timestamp1 - timestamp2 to get intervals of 2 timestamps.

- either ETimstamp need to add difference() function

- or we need conversion of timestamps into a bigint of milliseconds, so user can do math on it

This has been deferred to 1.0, as discussed in the 11/1 status meeting.

We also need this for the time type.

In EDate we already have 'daysDifferent() returns(EInt)'

For ETime it would make sense to therefore have 'secondsDifferent() returns(EInt)'.

For ETimestamp do we want it to be 'millisecondsDifferent() returns(EBigint)'? You can calculate the seconds/minutes/hours/days different from that value.

Setting the target milestone to Future for bugs that won't be addressed in 0.8.2.
