IntBinaryOperator.applyAsInt()

[Mike Duigou]

The source of the naming approach is to handle overloads that differ only in the return type. The EG opted to resolve the problem by naming the versions of these methods for primitive types with the "AsXYZ" naming. This ensures that within the same class there won't be overloads fighting over the return type.
