`StringConverter` is a template class. `toString()` accepts a template type
parameter.
Using autoboxing at such instances would hamper the readability.
So I think autoboxing should be used only when the type is very obvious from
just a glance of code.

The array is of type Object. When LHS is Object then autobox chooses a suitable
type by itself.
So here, if we autobox then the values get autoboxed to `Integer`. We do not
intend to change the test behavior as part of this fix so let's keep this as
`Double.valueOf`.
