Looks like you're right that we can cast directly and unbox at the same time based on the method signature... but I typically don't do that for style reasons. If you cast to the primitive, then there's a risk of introducing an unnecessary failure if the value is `null` and the receiving function accepts an `Integer` that can be null. I think casting to the object version is better to avoid those problems. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
