The idea is to handle a field like tt_content:colPos similar to what is 
done with exception codes:
To make (pretty much) sure that an exception code is unique, the current 
unix timestamp when coding this exception is taken as code 
($e->getCode()) field. This idea was taken from FLOW3 and it is imho 
pretty neat for exceptions.
Extbase has a similar recommendation when it comes to 'registering' FE 
types: Just take current timestamp to get a unique type which doesn't 
clash with anyone's elses types (eg. everyone uses "100").

So, this request is about making some db fields in core big enough to 
take timestamps instead of integers up to 256 only.
