Not to dismiss the “what about inference” issue, but any code that combines `var` with `List,of()` should not be surprised at the result of inference ….

But, “what about inference” noted.

Absorbing value types is going to require some changes on the part of most frameworks to get best results.  This one seems in that category?  

Again, not to dismiss, keep them coming, but so far this isn’t scaring me away from having the object model that makes most sense.
