This won't be true in Java, though - in Java, you will have null Integers at least. It seems that int will remain a different thing entirely from Integer, and will remain a JVM-only concept.

But with null-restricted types, Integer! and int has no difference semantically and representation. They plan to introduce null-restricted types in future.
