Thanks for thinking forward on this. But let's get back to the original issue: inconsistent API between MH.bindTo() and MHs.insertArguments(). If the latter boxes primitive values, why not to allow the former to do the same? Albeit it is not "a good support for primitives", but this is the consistency improvement. Thanks, Aleksey.
