Re-read what I had written. I never said to turn every built-in type into an object. In fact, what I was talking about was keeping and preserving the base types as-is. All that I was proposing was adding the ability to cast from and to the primitives. That way you could silently convert back and forth as needed (transparently when possible). So what it sounds like you're -1ing to, is not actually what was proposed... I'm starting to work on a patch for this as a proof of concept...
