Yes, those distinctions are still there.  But I don't need to use "pos"
in "I'll see you in a week." If you mean "I'll see you during the
week," first you would use "the" (to indicate it is a defined entity)
rather than "a" (to indicate it is a single unit of time), and secondly
you can use "during" to be more precise (in LFN, too!).  Do you agree?
