Problem still exists in kestrel-RA, so have changed release to kestrel-beta

Double's constructors accept a string version of the value, but Long's constructors do not. We should either fix the inconsistency, or at least document it.

-----------------

Classic VM (build JDK-1.2.2-001, native threads, symcjit)

Other primitive wrapper class constructors that take a String can handle the
type designator, but Long cannot.
Double d = new Double("1.2D") ; //works
Long l = new Long("1234L"); //fails with a NumberFormatException
Long n = new Long("0xBAD"); //also fails with a NumberFormatException
