Could someone consider filing a bug against Java asking that
Method#invoke return either Boolean.TRUE or Boolean.FALSE when calling
a boolean method, rather than boxing the return value into a freshly
allocated java.lang.Boolean?  That would make life much simpler for
those of us who need to translate these boxed Booleans to our own
language's true and false values: an identity comparison rather than a
cast followed by a booleanValue() would suffice.

This wouldn't help with methods that return a Boolean rather than a
boolean, but there are few of those.

Thanks.
