<div dir="ltr">Sorry if this is a silly question, but I
recently browsed through JEP-401 to find that all
references to primitive classes have been completely
scrubbed, as if they were never there at all. I haven't
been keeping up to date with Valhalla lately, so I
can't tell what the changes (if any) have been. Did they
move elsewhere or were they changed to something else?</div>

<div>Yes, all values classes are now nullable by default.<br data-mce-bogus="1">
</div>
<div>The equivalent of the old primitive class is a
non-nullable value class with a default instance.<br data-mce-bogus="1">

<div>If you declare the value class Range like the first
example of the JEP-401, Range! (not the '!') is what is the
closest to the old primitive class. <br data-mce-bogus="1">
