        Sure - but the explicit cast is not required :-) people can omit it,
compile perfectly cleanly on 64bit, commit - and then all the 32bit
systems break :-)

        Unless I'm missing something, there is no way beyond: "do manual work
regularly to fix it" to deal with that sort of fall-out - and that's the
primary reason why we might want to prefer valueOfInt32() and
deprecating valueOf() - even though it's longer.

        At least in my mind :-) but we're starting to bike-shed here... I
didn't see anyone volunteering to do the actual batch cleanup there ;-)

        Regards,

                Michael.
