That's right.  But this method is still commented because it produces  
the exception we talked about earlier.  I'm not sure if I should push  
what I have or wait until we have a fix for that.

Today I looked at the sun.dyn.util.ValueConversions unbox functions  
and I wonder if these should also handle other types than just their  
boxing type.  All unbox functions take an Object but only cast to  
their boxing type instead of doing an instanceof check.  But I'm not  
an expert here...
