> JEP 455 adds support for `switch`'ing on `long`, `float`, `double`, and `boolean`. Since this feature is still in preview, the `--enable-preview` flag is required. The compiler was properly checking that when the expressions had primitive type, but not when the expression a corresponding boxed type (i.e., `Long`, `Float`, `Double`, and `Boolean`). This resulted in `BootstrapMethodError` failures at runtime. This PR closes that loophole.
