I was thinking about autoboxing of numbers when assigned to Object and I
started to question if we really need them in Java to JS translation - at
least for a subset (i.e. Integer and Double).

Object has only a few methods that we can put into Number.prototype (like
we do for String) and all methods to Integer/Double can be converted to
static calls then theoretically we can drop most of the java autoboxing
code. We can also find similar solutions to calls over java.lang.Number.

Perhaps, I'm missing some corner cases but I really feel like we can find a
way to get rid of them at least for the most scenarios. Am I being too
naive on this?
