Just to play devil's advocate about the Java capitalization, I suspect the difference between `int` and `Integer` is quite intentional: `int` is a "primitive", immutable value type, while `Integer` is a class. Since by convention, Java's classes are capitalized, while its primitives are spelled the way they are in C, there's some sense here.
