Using interrupts

The documentation for the attachInterrupt function states:

 

Inside the attached function, delay() won't work and the value returned by millis() will not increment. Serial data received while in the function may be lost.

What about micros(), does it work?

I can understand these limitations for the lower end MSP430s but what about the 5529, Tiva-C and C2000?  Do they have the same limitations?  Any chance the interrupt handling could be enhanced on the higher end MCUs?

Also, any chance at timer interrupts in Energia or will that always need to be done something like this http://forum.stellarisiti.com/topic/1754-interrupt-handler-in-energia/

Thanks,
