The other day I stumbled upon this in the JLS changes for the first preview (JEP
455):
* a widening reference conversion followed by an unboxing conversion
* a widening reference conversion followed by an unboxing conversion, then
followed by a widening primitive conversion
I fail to imagine any type that can be widened to a boxing type. What's going on
here?
best,
Stephan

Dear experts,
A draft JEP for the second preview of primitive types in patterns, instanceof,
and switch is now available. We propose to preview it for a second time with no
changes relative to JDK 23. This feature aligns what instanceof and pattern
matching mean across all types. This second preview, unchanged, gives ample time
to amber experts to express their feedback.
https://bugs.openjdk.org/browse/JDK-8335876
Let us know of your feedback.
Thank you,
Angelos
