In order to make a value type nullable, you need to convert it to a
reference type. That's what you call boxing. So nullable and "boxed"
types are essentially the same (in C# anyway I think). Though I believe
Vala doesn't actually treat nullable types as reference types, because
there is no way to track reference count (someone correct me if I'm
mistaken). A nullable variable is implemented as a simple pointer here.
