I don't think PrimitiveClass is needed.


  case $type in
    boolean|byte|short|char|int|long|float|double|Point)
      args="$args -KValue"
      ;;
  esac
```  

"Value" is used to annotate as primitive class because "value class" was the terminology when these tests were updated.

You can rename `Value` to `PrimitiveClass` in this file and `X-VarHandle*` templates.  Or leave it as is and we will change that when we add tests for value objects.
