This will block any user-land workarounds for doing those features, while they maybe will implemented versions after this reservation by the language itself. That is no well behavior of a language. For this reason -1 vote for me having some kind of Scalar Autoboxing objects already implemented. Yes I would be able to rename for example int object to MyInt but then I have to refactor all usages and have to refactor again if the feature is finally in. Regards, -- DerOetzi
