Variable types in the documentation?

Small point.

The header file declarationvoid play(unsigned int frequency, unsigned long duration = 0); would not lead me to the believe that frequency values must be below 32768, because the value of frequency is an unsigned int. I would assume that values upto 65,535 would be okay.

Hence, I think:

  1. the documentation should say that only values upto 'x' (whatever that is) work if we are to understand it
  2. adding the type doesn't tell us enough, and
  3. I don't believe there is an obstacle to implement tone() slightly differently so that it supports frequencies upto 65,535 KHz which might be handy for folks using some types of ultrasonic emitters.
