don't forget about speed/memory efficiency of any programs that use
Integer "just for case" but really most of their numbers fit in 32/64
bits. i have one particular program of this type - it builds list of
all files on disk and Integers are used to save filesizes. i will be
glad if, vice versa, memory requirements for small integers will be
reduced to the same as for Ints

isn't it rather easy task for some automated tool? i think that even
existing tools may be found
