> Pretty much any time a variable/parameter type or a function return type uses capitalized Integer, Long, Boolean, etc. instead of lowercase int, long, boolean, etc. boxing is probably occurring.

That probably occurring hides a lot of complexity. That’s my original point. Optimisations are happening especially when Integer and Long are involved. There are sometimes actually less boxing than you would expect reading the code.

True, but I'd argue you should treat those probable boxing situations and definitely boxing and remove them.
