JEP 218: Generics over Primitive Types

[Simon Ochsenreither]

Hi!

Ok, thanks for the clarification. This seems to be exactly what I 
described earlier.

What I'm wondering: For primitive types–e. g. int–it's fairly obvious 
how to decide whether a user wants variance (by using the reference 
type, Integer) or a better representation (int), but what's the story 
here for value types?

E. g. is it possible/how would on express: I have an Vector of Value 
Type, but I want the value Type to be boxed to use the variance of Vector?

Thanks,

Simon
