Remove type parameter from IntervalCollection's add method

[jzaffiro]

Deprecated API

The deprecated API is the add method on IntervalCollection, called when adding a new interval to a given collection. The type parameter is being removed from this API.

Context

The type parameter of this API is being removed to prevent callers of add from specifying an IntervalType. The default type is IntervalType.SlideOnRemove, and all intervals will now be created with that type.

Approach

Simply call IntervalCollection.add without the interval type parameter, so a maximum of 4 parameters will be passed in.

Dependencies

None.

Compatibility Concerns

None.

Phases

• Check in overloaded add method for the original signature as well as the updated signature.
• Ensure that all partners calling this method do not pass in an interval type.
• Remove the 5-parameter signature, and leave only the add implementation without the type parameter.

Expected Timeline

The API will likely be removed in the 2.0.0-internal.9.0.0 release (in 2 major releases).

Open Questions

None.
