Comment (by Paul Pogonyshev):

 As far as I see from documentation, using seconds() will round the number
 to integer first, which is completely inappropriate for my usecase.

 It would have been fine if seconds() accepted double parameter in addition
 to long making the conversion explicit rather than implicit.
