Small typo under Breaking Changes and Deprecations

"4. After the time period specified in step 4 has elapsed, stage 
2 can be merged."

should be

"4. After the time period specified in step _3_ has elapsed, 
stage 2 can be merged."

The only thing I think is missing is a flag to accelerate the 
process s.t. the examples

f(E.a);
f(E.b);
g(a - b);

can be made to call their int/long overloads straight away. But 
otherwise, er, no. A resounding yes with a small request to make 
the transition faster!

Thanks Mike & Mike! Looking forward to it.
