I'm not happy with the boxing that is often needed to create a Range of int or long, e.g. in StringEscapeUtils.
Seems to me that the UnicodeEscaper and NumericEntityEscaper classes should require ints rather than a Range, as this would cut down on the boxing and unboxing that is currently needed, as well as the extra code needed to provide comparisons etc. Or, there could be a specialised IntRange class using int to provide the functionality. These changes are new to 3.0, so could be fixed now without backward compat. problems. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@commons.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@commons.apache.org
