Bob's old proposal was to introduce an "Any" type which is the
supertype of all types, including primitives. As a short term fix, you
can do what I did in GWT Exporter and de-box these values. If you are
trying to export JS functions, then you can have a function like:
function debox(val, typeCast) {
return isScript ? val : typeCast.apply(null, arguments);
}
and then, debox($entry(...), Boolean) will return a 'boolean', and
debox($entry(...), Number) will return a 'number'
