Who said that Java wasn't inspirational?
[ note to those fortunate enough to have not used Java: there is a class
Integer that exists solely to wrap integer ("int") values, which aren't
objects. This wrapping is needed (for instance) if you want to have integers
in collections, since collections store only Objects. ]
