Nothing in this proposal changes how these classes are compiled. The following 
methods will exist:

I.foo()I
J.foo()Ljava/lang/Object;
A.foo()I
A.foo()Ljava/lang/Object; // bridge

I think you may be mixed up thinking that we'll sometimes translate 'int' in a 
descriptor to 'Ljava/lang/Integer$val;', but that's not the case. 'I' is 
preferred wherever possible.
