State of the Values

These two questions came to mind:
1) If subclassing will be prohibited, will it still be possible to "extend"
another value type via delegation? I imagine people will want to delegate
to reuse existing value classes.

2) The draft makes mention how most java.lang.Object methods aren't
applicable. So does it make sense for value types to extend
java.lang.Object? Or, will it take the "enum" route (all extending
java.lang.Enum) of forcibly subclassing a new java.lang type and providing
"final" behavior for the non-applicable methods?

Cheers,
Paul
