This avoids (potentially) creating a new int object
every time we evaluate an integer literal in a context that
requires a boxed value. In any case this reduces the number
of C calls required.
This speeds up this microbenchmark by about 60%:
In more realistic workloads the impact is hard to
measure and is likely below the noise floor.
