No wrapping object type -- those are legacy, to be avoided. See

The main thing is value not reference semantics.
On that page: "It’s forwards-compatible with future mechanisms for
user-defined value objects." How can we be confident of this? I would
like to be.
That's a concern I have as well -- i'm not 100% sold on user-defined
value objects, but i think i'd prefer that we get those done before
bolting on [u]int64 and hoping that they're forwards compatible. I
don't want to deal with any "we can't do x due to uint64" style problems.
Totally -- that's why all of this is on the ES7 agenda. I'll write a
strawman on user-defined value objects.
