> Auto boxing is generally a bad idea as it can hide poor design (wrong
>choice of long/Long).
>It can also hide wrong choice of method (Long.parseLong/Long.decode)
>Implicit unboxing can hide potential NPE.
>About the only place where autoboxing is useful is in String.format,
>but that should not be used as an excuse to allow it elsewhere.
