      In the first round of making things Constable only the box types whose primitive had a native constant pool representation were made to implement Constable (Integer, Long, Float, and Double).

      Let's add support for the other wrapper types as well.

      This is for instance useful for APIs that take a Constable as input type, and want to supply for instance a boolean as an argument, without having to fall back to parsing "true" and "false" strings.
