Would it be correct (and possibly more expressive) to use a method
reference for the unboxing in this case?

    ...stream().map(Integer::intValue).sum();

(I'm aware you were really illustrating why it didn't resolve to Integer ->
int but thought it worth noting the another representation of the solution)
