Review Comment:
   Value is an `Object`, so I cast to the object rather than the primitive. 
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.
