Primitive types #4

Open yallie opened 5 years ago

Looks like we can't use .NET primitive types because of the missing APIs. Examples:

string.replace(text1, text2) → string.Replace(text1, text2)
int.valueOf("123") → int.Parse("123")
etc.

I suggest that we emit String, Integer and so on — the mockable types defined in Apex.dll.

There's a big gotcha: we'll need to implement all these Apex classes to use them, while .NET primitives are already available out of the box, albeit with their own APIs.

Current approach:

Static methods are not translated: Integer.valueOf(x) remains the same
Instance methods are implemented as extension methods in Apex.ApexSharp.Extensions
